Subject[GIT PULL] ring-buffer: Fix return value check in test_ringbuffer()

Linus,

Wei Yongjun fixed a long standing bug in the ring buffer startup test.
If for some unknown reason, the kthread that is created fails to be
created, the return from kthread_create() is an PTR_ERR and not a NULL.
The test incorrectly checks for NULL instead of an error.

ring-buffer: Fix return value check in test_ringbuffer()

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