Nayna must have tested it, looks OK to me..

Except that return should ideally be PTR_ERR(chip->bios_dir[cnt])

.. and we still set ERR_PTR into bios_dir in the ENODEV case, so the
overall series is still broken if securityfs is compiled out.

Lets fix this all like this - which is a good enough reason to leave the
ENODEV detect alone - just squash this into your patch:
