tests: fix tail test race causing false failure
* tests/tail-2/retry.sh: The replacement of the "missing" directory is not atomic, and therefore tail(1) can take a different path, especially if there is a delay between the rmdir(2) and creat(2). This is noticeable for example with `make coverage` because in that case the coverage files written by rmdir(1) on exit, induce a significant delay thus triggering the issue.
