SubjectRe: SLUB: Return ZERO_SIZE_PTR for kmalloc(0)

And now all that's done, how about yet another random person stepping in and
suggesting NIL or maybe NIL_PTR instead of ZERO_SIZE_PTR?

I understand the idea is that code need not necesarily care about zero sized
allocation meaning it won't (generally) need to spell it out but it's still a
dreadful name... :-(
