Subject: [PATCH 5.13 045/127] vDPA/ifcvf: Fix return value check for vdpa_alloc_device()

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

[ Upstream commit 1057afa0121db8bd3ca4718c8e0ca12388ab7759 ]

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.
