Subject: fs/gfs2: test for IS_ERR rather than 0
From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>
The function gfs2_inode_lookup always returns either a valid pointer or a
value made with ERR_PTR, so its result should be tested with IS_ERR, not
with a test for 0.
The problem was found using the following semantic match.
