From: Oleg Drokin <green@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 020ecc6f3229 ("staging: lustre: llite: Remove IS_ERR tests") managed to break one of the converted checks by losing a dereference causing the condition to be wrong and hence leading to a crash later on in case of actual error. IS_ERR_OR_NULL(*inode) got converted into !inode.
