Subject: [PATCH 5.13 044/127] vp_vdpa: Fix return value check for vdpa_alloc_device()

From: Xie Yongji <xieyongji@...edance.com>

[ Upstream commit 9632e78e82648aa98340df78eab9106f63da151e ]

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.
