Looks fine to me. The dup_iter() interface is somewhat unfortunate, as
it doesn't return an error pointer. Hence NULL can be failed or success,
depending on the type. Looks like cifs is the only other user of
dup_iter(), and that checks the type first. You could do something like
that too in the gadget code. Or we could fix the API... And it is kind
of silly calling into dup_iter() when you don't need it. But for now,
this will probably suffice:
