Subject: [PATCH -next] nbd: fix return value check

From: Wei Yongjun <weiyongjun1@...wei.com>

In case of error, the function blk_mq_alloc_request() or
blk_mq_init_queue() returns ERR_PTR() not  NULL. The NULL
test in the return value check should be replaced with
IS_ERR().

Fixes: fd8383fd88a2 ("nbd: convert to blkmq")
