Subject: [PATCH] hppfs: fix the return value of get_inode()

From: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei@...ndmicro.com.cn>

In case of error, the function get_inode() returns ERR_PTR().
But the users hppfs_lookup() and hppfs_fill_super() use NULL
test for check the return value, not IS_ERR(), so we'd better
change the return value of get_inode() to NULL instead of
ERR_PTR().

dpatch engine is used to generated this patch.
