I don't see why it is confusing as long as everyone sticks to the same scheme.
I actually prefer this way, since it is more robust as it will catch cases
where the memop unintentionally returned NULL. If I would just check for IS_ERR,
then that would be missed. Especially in a core piece of code like this I'd
like to err on the robust side.
