Andrey Ryabinin 3ca17b1f36 lib/ubsan: remove null-pointer checks
With gcc-8 fsanitize=null become very noisy.  GCC started to complain
about things like &a->b, where 'a' is NULL pointer.  There is no NULL
dereference, we just calculate address to struct member.  It's
technically undefined behavior so UBSAN is correct to report it.  But as
long as there is no real NULL-dereference, I think, we should be fine.

-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks compiler flag should protect us from any
consequences.  So let's just no use -fsanitize=null as it's not useful
for us.  If there is a real NULL-deref we will see crash.  Even if
userspace mapped something at NULL (root can do this), with things like
SMAP should catch the issue.

README

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
