[PATCH -next] drm/vgem: Fix return value check in vgem_init()

From: Wei Yongjun <weiyongjun1 at huawei.com>

In case of error, the function platform_device_register_simple() returns
ERR_PTR() and never returns NULL. The NULL test in the return value
check should be replaced with IS_ERR().

Fixes: 315f0242aa2b ("drm/vgem: Convert to a struct drm_device subclass")
