[PATCH] PM / devfreq: fix odd_ptr_err.cocci warnings (fwd)

From: Julia Lawall

Hello,

There seems to be an inconsistency, but the patch proposed by Coccinelle
does not look correct. There should be a test on opp_table.

drivers/devfreq/governor_passive.c:318:7-13: inconsistent IS_ERR and PTR_ERR on line 319.

PTR_ERR should access the value just tested by IS_ERR

Semantic patch information:
There can be false positives in the patch case, where it is the call to
IS_ERR that is wrong.
