Subject: [PATCH -next] misc: genwqe: fix return value check in genwqe_device_create()

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

In case of error, the function device_create_with_groups()
returns ERR_PTR() and never returns NULL. The NULL test in
the return value check should be replaced with IS_ERR().
