Subject: [PATCH] drm/nouveau/mmu: fix odd_ptr_err.cocci warnings (fwd)

This is a false positive, but I wonder if it is really necessary to put
the assignment in the conditional test expression.

drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/mmu/uvmm.c:109:5-11: inconsistent IS_ERR and PTR_ERR on line 111.

 PTR_ERR should access the value just tested by IS_ERR

Semantic patch information:
 There can be false positives in the patch case, where it is the call to
 IS_ERR that is wrong.
