[PATCH v3] sunrpc: Fix error checking for d_hash_and_lookup()

From: Yan Zhen
Date: Wed Aug 28 2024 - 00:45:38 EST


The d_hash_and_lookup() function returns either an error pointer or NULL.

It might be more appropriate to check error using IS_ERR_OR_NULL().

Fixes: 4b9a445e3eeb ("sunrpc: create a new dummy pipe for gssd to hold open")
Signed-off-by: Yan Zhen <yanzhen@xxxxxxxx>

Changes in v3:
- Rewrite the "fixes".
- Using ERR_CAST(gssd_dentry) instead of ERR_PTR(-ENOENT).
