We first need to get rid of the existing users of it - I've got rid of
most of those in arch/arm - but it seems that I never pushed that in the
last merge window.

Really it needs the cooperation of everyone to make it happen across the
tree with everyone removing IS_ERR_OR_NULL() in their subsystem. There
are currently 366 instances of this macro being used in the entire tree
which is far too many to even mark it as deprecated.
