Rather than returning a pointer to a static nulls, rht_bucket_var() now returns NULL if the bucket doesn't exist. This will make the next patch, which stores a bitlock in the bucket pointer, somewhat cleaner. This change involves introducing __rht_bucket_nested() which is like rht_bucket_nested(), but doesn't provide the static nulls, and changing rht_bucket_nested() to call this and possible provide a static nulls - as is still needed for the non-var case.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
