Subject: [PATCH 3.12 78/83] aio: checking for NULL instead of IS_ERR

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit 7f62656be8a8ef14c168db2d98021fb9c8cc1076 upstream.

alloc_anon_inode() returns an ERR_PTR(), it doesn't return NULL.

Fixes: 71ad7490c1f3 ('rework aio migrate pages to use aio fs')
