I'm committing the appended version instead. It removes all the games with
IS_ERR(), and just does the checking at the allocation point, the way the
other lease_alloc() user does too.
Holler if you see something odd in there..

commit 6d4b9e38d3980826abccfbd90e95bf4bd41b8dd2

vfs: fix handling of lock allocation failure in lease-break case
Bruce Fields notes that commit 778fc546f749 ("locks: fix tracking of
inprogress lease breaks") introduced a possible error pointer
dereference on failure to allocate memory. locks_conflict() will
dereference the passed-in new lease lock structure that may be an error pointer.
This means an open (without O_NONBLOCK set) on a file with a lease
applied (generally only done when Samba or nfsd (with v4) is running)
could crash if a kmalloc() fails.
So instead of playing games with IS_ERROR() all over the place, just
check the allocation failure early. That makes the code more
straightforward, and avoids this possible bad pointer dereference.
