Subject: 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.
