a) ERR_PTR(nfserr_something) is a bad idea; IS_ERR() will be false for it. b) mixing nfserr_.... with -EOPNOTSUPP is even worse idea.
nfsd4_path() does both; caller expects to get NFS protocol error out it if anything goes wrong, but if it does we either do not notice (see (a)) or get host-endian negative (see (b)).
IOW, that's a case when we can't use ERR_PTR() to return error, even though we return a pointer in case of success.
