Jani Nikula e47103b1af err.h: add __must_check to error pointer handlers
Add __must_check to error pointer handlers to have the compiler warn about
mistakes like:

	if (err)
		ERR_PTR(err);

It found two bugs:

Mar 12 Nikula Jani [PATCH] enclosure: fix error path - actually return ERR_PTR() on error
Mar 12 Nikula Jani [PATCH] sunrpc: fix error path - actually return ERR_PTR() on error
