This is way too verbose. To quote Al Viro from earlier today:

<viro> sigh...
<viro> if (IS_ERR(link) && PTR_ERR(link) == -EEXIST)
<viro> what the hell is wrong with if (link == ERR_PTR(-EEXIST))?

I wonder why so many people haven't heard of pointer comparison... ;)

IS_ERR(ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER)) is always true - if it wasn't, then
we'd be in for problems.

So, if you're asserting that nvmem is ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER) then
there's no need to do the IS_ERR(nvmem) must also be true. Hence, a
simple pointer comparison is sufficient:

if (nvmem == ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER))
return -EPROBE_DEFER;
