Subject: [GFS2] test for IS_ERR rather than 0
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc1~1144^2~2

[GFS2] test for IS_ERR rather than 0

The function gfs2_inode_lookup always returns either a valid pointer or a
value made with ERR_PTR, so its result should be tested with IS_ERR, not
with a test for 0.

The problem was found using the following semantic match.
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)
