`if (PTR_ERR(ptr) == -ERRNO)` itself is correct without a check for
IS_ERR(). The former basically is a more precise test comparing to
the latter.

Yes, even without `IS_ERR`, it runs well.

At least, `IS_ERR` before `PTR_ERR` is a good habit. :)

Not sure if compilers can get it well, but in ideal case the first
will be omitted from the object code at all, and so do we.

In case I'm wrong and this is a correct fix, it at least shouldn't
increase the indentation by one, these two conditions can be placed
into one `if` statement.

NAK.
