No, it was left over from the strict parser that owned its own message.
Nothing follows the call, so it reduces to a direct return and the hunk
goes from ten added lines to two:

+	/* the listing prints a raw id once the path is gone */
 	if (stat(cgroupv2_path, &st) < 0)
-		return error(&sym->location, "cgroupv2 path fails: %s",
-			     strerror(errno));
+		return integer_type_parse(ctx, sym, res);

v3 to follow.
