Ahh, ok. Then it actually makes sense. Although I'd prefer it if people
planned on writing code like that more along the lines of
error = PTR_ERR(inode);
if (IS_ERR(inode)
return ERR_PTR(error);
because let's face it, the compiler can turn this into nice code, and
humans can read it much better even if it's got an "unnecessary" extra
variable etc..
