Hmm, looking at the broader context, I see there are other callers of
lustre_cfg_new() that are checking for NULL, and in some cases not
checking the return code at all.

I'm not sure why Peng Tao changed the return value of this function to
ERR_PTR() instead of NULL, but it may be better to have lustre_cfg_new()
return NULL on failure to avoid changing more code, and because it is
essentially an alloc+init function and the only error it could ever
return is -ENOMEM and typically allocator functions return NULL.

Cheers, Andreas
