I'm still a bit confused by what your goal is here. I see
the code getting more complex but don't see the payoff in this
patch.

I assume the missing Signed-off-by is intentional while you are
still gathering feedback?

It looks like this gets added into the hot path of every
ioctl command, which is not ideal, especially when this
no longer gets inlined into the caller.

The S_ISBLK() || S_ISCHR() check here looks like it changes
behavior, at least for sockets. If that is intentional,
it should probably be a separate patch with a detailed
explanation.

The WARN_ON_ONCE() looks like it can be triggered from
userspace, which is generally a bad idea.

I don't understand the purpose of the #else path here,
this should not be needed.
