Subject: [065/129] sysfs: checking for NULL instead of ERR_PTR

2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <error27@...il.com>

commit 57f9bdac2510cd7fda58e4a111d250861eb1ebeb upstream.

d_path() returns an ERR_PTR and it doesn't return NULL.
