Subject: [PATCH] bcache: Remove some unnecessary NULL point check for the return value of __bch_btree_node_alloc-related pointer

Due to the previously fix of __bch_btree_node_alloc, the return value will
never be a NULL pointer. So IS_ERR is enough to handle the failure
situation. Fix it by replacing IS_ERR_OR_NULL check to IS_ERR check.

Hello,

After writing the patch, I found there may be more places to replace
IS_ERR_OR_NULL to IS_ERR.
If the alloc of node will never be NULL, the additional NULL check of
nodes after allocation may also
be useless. This patch just fixes the check around the alloc. I'm not
sure about other places for my
limited understanding of the code in bcache.

Thanks,
Zheng Wang

This was why I suggested you to post an extra cleanup patch like this.

You may just add more changes as you mentioned into this patch and post another updated version.

Thanks.
