yaffs: replace IS_ERR with IS_ERR_OR_NULL to check both ERR and NULL
When run below command to mount a yaffs2 FS to nor flash, there is kernel panic as below: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000020 ...... Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 1 PID: 335 Comm: mount Not tainted 5.10.73-yocto-standard #1 ...... Call trace: yaffs_internal_read_super.constprop.0+0x24c/0x6fc yaffs2_internal_read_super_mtd+0x28/0x40 mount_bdev+0x1cc/0x200 ...... el0_sync_handler+0x1a4/0x1b0 el0_sync+0x180/0x1c0 Because in function yaffs_get_mtd_device(), it check the type of mtd device. If it is not NAND flash, NULL will be returned. This causes kernel panic if the ret value is not checked whether it is NULL or not. So, replace IS_ERR with IS_ERR_OR_NULL to check both ERR and NULL.
