Subject: [PATCH 2/4] vp_vdpa: 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: 64b9f64f80a6 ("vdpa: introduce virtio pci driver")
