The two changes above looked really really confusing, where one tests 
the returned pointer and returns it if it's an ERR_PTR, and the other 
tests for NULL and returns ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM).

Then I realised one was i915_gem_alloc_object() and the other was 
i915_gem_object_alloc()!

Can we please get rid of one or the other? Since we generally use 
subsystem_class_action naming, I'd suggest keeping (the low-level 
memory-allocator) i915_gem_object_alloc(), and renaming the high-level 
i915_gem_alloc_object() to i915_gem_object_create() or similar.

Oh and BTW i915_gem_alloc_object() already calls itself 
i915_gem_object_create() in trace messages!
