Let's better be safe than sorry, and follow symlinks in ESP + XBOOTLDR via chase_symlinks() relative to the root of these files systems. This is not a big issue given that ESP/XBOOTLDR are supposed to be VFAT where symlinks don't exist, but the specs don't strictly require this, and by loading efifs drivers in uefi it would be possible to support symlinks, but we'd rather not have that here. No real change in behaviour, just stricter rules to make me sleep better at night.
