Is this change a hard requirement? Currently the lustre code standard in our development
tree is the opposite policy.

!x is more normal for kzalloc failure in the kernel.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(
http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@@
expression x;
statement S1, S2;
@@
x = kzalloc(...);
if (
- x == NULL
+ !x
) S1 else S2
// </smpl>
