How many more of those 'comparing pointer to 0' patches do you have?
Right now we already merged the following with similar trivial pattern:

- ebda107e5f222a086c83ddf6d1ab1da97dd15810
- a9c80b03e586fd3819089fbd33c38fb65ad5e00c
- 04ea63e34a2ee85cfd38578b3fc97b2d4c9dd573

Given they don't really 'fix' anything, I would like to reduce such
patch cleanup churn on the bpf tree. Please _consolidate_ all other
such occurrences into a _single_ patch for BPF selftests, and resubmit.

Thanks!
