PTR_RET is now PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO
True, it's often used in return statements, but after much bikeshedding
it's probably better to have an explicit name.
(I tried just putting the IS_ERR check inside PTR_ERR itself and gcc
usually generated no more code. But that clashes current expectations
of how PTR_ERR behaves, so having a separate function is better).

Sweep of the simple cases.

s390: Replace weird use of PTR_RET.
Saves repeating "(void __force *)__uptr" but it's less clear. Using
the output of PTR_RET() to determine the error rather than just
testing IS_ERR() is odd.
For example, I *assume* __gptr_to_uptr() never returns NULL? Because
the __ret would be 0 for the old code. The new version is clearer, IMHO:
it would try to get_user() on that address.
If you hate this variant, I can just s/PTR_RET/PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO/ instead.

acpi: Replace weird use of PTR_RET.
This functions is really weird. It sets rc to -ENOMEM, then overrides
it. It was converted to PTR_RET in a1458187 when it should have
simply been rewritten.
This version makes it more explicit, with a single IS_ERR() test.

mm/oom_kill: remove weird use of ERR_PTR()/PTR_ERR().
The normal expectation for ERR_PTR() is to put a negative errno into a
pointer. oom_kill puts the magic -1 in the result (and has since
pre-git), which is probably clearer with an explicit cast.
