[PATCH 5.13 043/127] vdpa_sim: Fix return value check for vdpa_alloc_device()

[Sasha Levin]

From: Xie Yongji <xieyongji@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 2b847f21145d84e2e1dde99d3e2c00a5468f02e4 ]

The vdpa_alloc_device() returns an error pointer upon
failure, not NULL. To handle the failure correctly, this
replaces NULL check with IS_ERR() check and propagate the
error upwards.
