[v1] dm: Convert to use ERR_CAST()

Commit Message

Yuesong Li Aug. 30, 2024, 3:16 a.m. UTC

Use ERR_CAST() as it is designed for casting an error pointer to
another type.

This macro utilizes the __force and __must_check modifiers, which instruct
the compiler to verify for errors at the locations where it is employed.
