Well, since we've adopted IS_ERR() from the kernel, we better try to
follow how it is used there, no?

Since you move to use ERR_PTR(), you probably will never return NULL,
right? So whay the (|| !obj) part?

The kernel has an IS_ERR_OR_NULL() interface tho, trying to figure out
when that would be appropriate...
