Yes. I have just simple checker using regular expression.
It has the list of function name that need to check IS_ERR().
If there is not IS_ERR() within 3 line after calling the function in that list.
It print file name and line number.
$ find . -name '*.c' -not -name '*.mod.c' -exec checker.py {} \;
./net/bluetooth/rfcomm/tty.c: 264
./net/ipv6/ah6.c: 453
./net/sunrpc/pmap_clnt.c: 297
...
