Subject: net: fec: Remove unneeded use of IS_ERR_VALUE() macro

From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@freescale.com>

[ Upstream commit b0c6ce24911fcb64715de9569f0f7b4f54d1d045 ]

There is no need to use the IS_ERR_VALUE() macro for checking
the return value from pm_runtime_* functions.

Just do a simple negative test instead.

The semantic patch that makes this change is available
in scripts/coccinelle/api/pm_runtime.cocci.
