Subject: [PATCH 1/4] vdpa_sim: Fix return value check for vdpa_alloc_device()

The vdpa_alloc_device() returns an error pointer upon
failure, not NULL. To handle the failure correctly, this
replaces NULL check with IS_ERR() check and propagate the
error upwards.

Fixes: 2c53d0f64c06 ("vdpasim: vDPA device simulator")
