Luca spotted this one, other places prefer /etc over /use but in BPF it is swapped?

Having some errors return -errno and others return -1 is confusing.
Perhaps -EINVAL?

Do you want lstat() it will return 0 it is a symlink to non existent target.

I would prefer that generic function not loose all type information.
Maybe using a union for the two possible usages? Or type specific callback instead of is_tab.
