Likely change all of these too:

$ git grep -P '\blikely.*IS_ERR'
drivers/net/vxlan.c:    if (likely(!IS_ERR(rt))) {
fs/ntfs/lcnalloc.c:     if (likely(page && !IS_ERR(page))) {
fs/ntfs/mft.c:  if (likely(!IS_ERR(page))) {
fs/ntfs/mft.c:  if (likely(!IS_ERR(m)))
fs/ntfs/mft.c:          if (likely(!IS_ERR(m))) {
fs/ntfs/mft.c:          if (likely(!IS_ERR(rl2)))
fs/ntfs/namei.c:                if (likely(!IS_ERR(dent_inode))) {
fs/ntfs/runlist.c:      if (likely(!IS_ERR(old_rl)))
net/openvswitch/datapath.c:             if (likely(!IS_ERR(reply))) {
net/socket.c:   if (likely(!IS_ERR(newfile))) {
