When trying to implement it, I think that it would even be more confusing, 
because we need a conditional in any case. Do you like

return __keyctl_dh_compute(params, buffer, buflen, (kdf) ? &kdfcopy : NULL);

better than the already presented code? Besides, this would now imply that we 
have two conditionals instead of one.
