For obj to be 0 then pkg->package.elements must be -1. If we're getting
a pointer of -1 then we're already screwed. Also we already used
pkg->elements without the "+ 1" so we know that's not -1.
The reason for this patch was that some compilers assume pointer math
can't overflow and my checker was complaining. We use
-fno-strict-overflow in the kernel, but it still seemed worth cleaning.
