[PATCH] kunit: debugfs: Use IS_ERR() for alloc_string_stream() error check

[Kuan-Wei Chiu]

The alloc_string_stream() function only returns ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) on
failure and never returns NULL. Therefore, switching the error check in
the caller from IS_ERR_OR_NULL to IS_ERR improves clarity, indicating
that this function will return an error pointer (not NULL) when an
error occurs. This change avoids any ambiguity regarding the function's
return behavior.
