MIPS: module: fix incorrect IS_ERR_VALUE macro usages

IS_ERR_VALUE macro should be used only with unsigned long type.
Specifically it works incorrectly with longer types.

The patch follows conclusion from discussion on LKML [1][2].

[ralf@linux-mips.org: While it may not immediately be obvious, the type
of st_value in the end is an unsigned long equivalent so the invocation
of IS_ERR_VALUE() was valid but I'm applying the patch anyway for
clarity.]
