    linuxkpi: Define `ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR()` in <linux/slab.h>
    
    On Linux, the `kmalloc()` family of functions returns a special value if
    the size of the allocation is zero. This macro verifies if the pointer
    is NULL (the allocation failed) or the size is 0 (the allocation was not
    performed AFAIU). This special value can be passed to `kfree()`.
    
    On FreeBSD, our `malloc(9)` functions don't return a special value for
    0-size allocations. Therefore we can simply compare the result against
    NULL.
