there is no issue; the change is just cosmetic.

alloc_anon_inode() returns ERR_PTR, so I'd probably rather
change iput() to do IS_ERR_OR_NULL instead of !NULL.
inode = alloc_anon_inode();
if (IS_ERR(inode)) {
inode = NULL;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
}
...
iput(inode);
this NULL assignment on error path is a bit fragile.
IOW, something like this
