[PATCH net-XXX] SUNRPC: Add an IS_ERR() check back to where it was

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Wed Oct 11 2023 - 04:00:37 EST


This IS_ERR() check was deleted during in a cleanup because, at the time,
the rpcb_call_async() function could not return an error pointer. That
changed in commit 25cf32ad5dba ("SUNRPC: Handle allocation failure in
rpc_new_task()") and now it can return an error pointer. Put the check
back.

A related revert was done in commit 13bd90141804 ("Revert "SUNRPC:
Remove unreachable error condition"").

Fixes: 037e910b52b0 ("SUNRPC: Remove unreachable error condition in rpcb_getport_async()")

It's possible Smatch was responsible for generating the original warning
because it warns for unnecessary NULL checks. But generally, there was
a future error pointer implied. Those warnings are just a hint, not a
command.
