3.8.13.16 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 89f4d45b2752df5d222b5f63919ce59e2d8afaf4 upstream.
In case of error, the function kthread_run() returns ERR_PTR()
and never returns NULL. The NULL test in the return value check
should be replaced with IS_ERR().
