Subject: [PATCH] firmware: stratix10-svc: Fix IS_ERR() vs NULL check in stratix10_svc_drv_probe()

The svc_create_memory_pool() returns an ERR_PTR() on failure, we should use
IS_ERR() to check the return value, and return it on failure.

Thanks for taking time to review this patch.
I found this through the cocci script, I made the patch based on the code logic,
but I have not tested it due to the lack of hardware devices.

As per our documentation, you have to explain how stuff like this is
found and tested.
