I did not sanity-check if 0 is possible before patch submission, just
cleaning the syntatic stuff here to prepare final removal of the
deprecated PTR_RET.
But as far as I see:

vmw_cmd_dx_clear_rendertarget_view
-> vmw_view_id_val_add
-> vmw_view_lookup
-> vmw_cmdbuf_res_lookup

which would then return a proper pointer/a non PTR_ERR value and
hence, it would be possible that PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO returns 0. It all
looks pretty sane.
