Isn't this part broken?

The code in 2.6.27 already has such thing and new code is trying to return 
NULL even if function returns int

static int dm_blk_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file)
{
        struct mapped_device *md;

        spin_lock(&_minor_lock);

        md = inode->i_bdev->bd_disk->private_data;
        if (!md)
                goto out;

        if (test_bit(DMF_FREEING, &md->flags) ||
            test_bit(DMF_DELETING, &md->flags)) {
                md = NULL;
                goto out;
        }

        dm_get(md);
        atomic_inc(&md->open_count);

out:
        spin_unlock(&_minor_lock);

        return md ? 0 : -ENXIO;
}
