Actually, the linux-next resolution looks wrong - or at least
unnecessary - to me.

The conversion to d_splice_alias() means that the IS_ERR() test is now
pointless, because d_splice_alias() handles an error-pointer natively,
and just returns the error back with ERR_CAST().

So the proper resolution seems to be to just drop the IS_ERR().

Adding Jeff and Al just as a heads-up.
