This is completely bogus, __unregister_enc_region_locked() is only called with
@region coming directly from sev->regions_list, i.e. it would require KVM to put
an error pointer on the list.  Aside from the fact that (a) KVM has the proper
error checking and (b) regions are allocated via kzalloc(), which uses NULL and
not ERR_PTR() to signal failure, it's impossible to add an error pointer to a
list because error pointers are not mapped.
