[for-next][PATCH 8/8] tracing: Fix return value check in trace_benchmark_reg()

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Wei Yongjun <weiyongjun1@xxxxxxxxxx>

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().
