Please remove unlikely() around IS_ERR(), it already has the unlikely().

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.11-rc4/source/include/linux/err.h#L22

I'd also recommend to remove all the unlikely() from OPP code since it
doesn't bring any value if not used in a very performance-critical code
path. OPP core doesn't have such code paths. The [un]likely() only make
code less readable and may result in a worse assembly.
