Refactor btrfs_find_device() to return standard error code.

Do you intend to add more error codes?

 No actually.

 code like this ...
    if (PTR_ERR(device) == -ENOENT)
 can be
    if (IS_ERR(device))


A NULL is valid in case it's
clear that it always means 'device not found'.


 Oh. I am not too particular, I am ok to drop this patch.

 The thought process was.. having btrfs_find_device() to return standard
 err code made code at @@ -2404,8 +2404,6 @@; @@ -2419,13 +2417,9 @@;
 simpler.
 And as ioctls already return -ENODEV (though it might not be correct
 one), so if btrfs_find_device() could return -ENODEV (instead of
 -ENOENT) then there are few more places where code can be just ..
    if (IS_ERR(device))
	return PTR_ERR(device);

 What do you think?

Thanks, Anand
