IS_ERR() already calls unlikely(), so this extra unlikely() call
around IS_ERR() is not needed.

Hello! Two months ago I already saw this patch. See discussion:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10977099/
phuh, that's long chain of links to folow ;-)
So, your primary argument is just *documenting* that this supposed to
be a rare condition ?
In that case, wouldn't a comment be more suitable for that ?
It seems that this issue is coming up again and again ... when people
run cocci scans (like I didn't), I'd suspect this to happen even more
in the future.
