This should be an IS_ERR() check instead of a NULL check.
The vdpa_alloc_device() macro is doing something very complicated but
I'm not sure what. It calls container_of() and that looks buggy until
you spot the BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO() compile time assert which ensures that
the container_of() is a no-op.
Only one of the callers checks for error pointers correctly so maybe
it's too complicated or maybe there should be better documentation.
