If an IDR contains a single entry at index==0, the underlying radix tree has a single item in its root node, in which case __radix_tree_lookup(index!=0) doesn't set its *@nodep argument (in addition to returning NULL). However, the tree itself is not empty, i.e. the tree root doesn't have IDR_FREE tag. As a result, on an attempt to remove an index!=0 entry from such an IDR, radix_tree_delete_item doesn't return early and calls __radix_tree_delete with invalid parameters which are then dereferenced.
