After this loop, we are at the last slot of a node. Our purpose is to find an entry that is not NULL, but the pivot is checked here, delete it, and change to mas_logical_pivot() to get the pivot. Finally, only check whether the entry is NULL. Why is this confusing? If the pivot is equal to 0, but if the entry is not NULL at this time, it will return NULL because of the pivot, but it should not do this, the entry is valid.
