emptyDir callback firing twice on EPERM error

See original GitHub issue

The callback is firing twice on my computer when the folder supplied cannot be removed because it is currently accessed by another program.

fs.emptyDir(`${directory}/public/cache`, function(error){
    console.log('Callback')
});

I have no problem if I use fs.emptyDirSync. I was running version 2.1.1 of fs-extra.

OK, that needs to be fixed in our codebase. Also, that patch needs to be forwarded to rimraf, since this bug also probably exists there too. (fs-extra’s remove is a customized version of rimraf.)

I’ll try to get this done.
