Compare pointer-typed values to NULL rather than 0.

The semantic patch that makes this change is available
in scripts/coccinelle/null/badzero.cocci.

When loading x86 64bit kernel above 4GiB with patched grub2, got kernel
gunzip error.

| early console in decompress_kernel
| decompress_kernel:

the new buffer is at 0x46fe000000ULL, decompressor_gzip is using
0xffffffb901ffffff as out_len.  gunzip in lib/zlib_inflate/inflate.c cap
that len to 0x01ffffff and decompress fails later.

We could hit this problem with crashkernel booting that uses kexec loading
kernel above 4GiB.

We have decompress_* support:
    1. inbuf[]/outbuf[] for kernel preboot.
    2. inbuf[]/flush() for initramfs
    3. fill()/flush() for initrd.
This bug only affect kernel preboot path that use outbuf[].

Add __decompress and take real out_buf_len for gunzip instead of guessing
wrong buf size.

<title>initramfs: support initramfs that is bigger than 2GiB</title>

Now with 64bit bzImage and kexec tools, we support ramdisk that size is
bigger than 2g, as we could put it above 4G.

Found compressed initramfs image could not be decompressed properly.  It
turns out that image length is int during decompress detection, and it
will become &lt; 0 when length is more than 2G.  Furthermore, during
decompressing len as int is used for inbuf count, that has problem too.

Change len to long, that should be ok as on 32 bit platform long is
32bits.

Tested with following compressed initramfs image as root with kexec.
	gzip, bzip2, xz, lzma, lzop, lz4.
run time for populate_rootfs():
   size        name       Nehalem-EX  Westmere-EX  Ivybridge-EX
 9034400256 root_img     :   26s           24s          30s
 3561095057 root_img.lz4 :   28s           27s          27s

Validate the newly decoded distance (rep0) in process_bit1().  This is to
detect corrupt LZMA data quickly.  The old code can run for long time
producing garbage until it hits the end of the input.

<title>Decompressors: check for write errors in decompress_unlzma.c</title>

<content type='text'>
The return value of wr-&gt;flush() is not checked in write_byte().  This
means that the decompressor won't stop even if the caller doesn't want
more data.  This can happen e.g.  with corrupt LZMA-compressed initramfs.
Returning the error quickly allows the user to see the error message
quicker.

There is a similar missing check for wr.flush() near the end of unlzma().

<title>Decompressors: check for read errors in decompress_unlzma.c</title>

Return value of rc-&gt;fill() is checked in rc_read() and error() is called
when needed, but then the code continues as if nothing had happened.

rc_read() is a void function and it's on the top of performance critical
call stacks, so propagating the error code via return values doesn't sound
like the best fix.  It seems better to check rc-&gt;buffer_size (which holds
the return value of rc-&gt;fill()) in the main loop.  It does nothing bad
that the code runs a little with unknown data after a failed rc-&gt;fill().

This fixes an infinite loop in initramfs decompression if the
LZMA-compressed initramfs image is corrupt.

Validation of header.pos calls error() but doesn't make the function
return to indicate an error to the caller.  Instead the decoding is
attempted with invalid header.pos.  This fixes it.
