The function rdma_create_id 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/)

expression E, E1;

E = rdma_create_id(...)
... when != E = E1
if@p (E) S else S1

@n@
position a.p;
expression E,E1;
statement S,S1;

E = NULL
... when != E = E1
if@p (E) S else S1

@depends on !n@
expression E;
statement S,S1;
position a.p;
@@

* if@p (E)
  S else S1
