pstree: workaround stupidity of modern compilers
gcc v6.0 and clang think that &next->pid.node can't be null.
Here is an explanation from a kernel log (v3.12-5097-g1310a5a):
"""
the result of this expression is not defined by a C standard
and some gcc versions (e.g. 4.3.4) assume the above expression can never
be equal to NULL. The net result is an oops because the iteration is not
properly terminated.
"""
$ gcc -v
gcc version 6.0.0 20160406 (Red Hat 6.0.0-0.20) (GCC)
$ python test/zdtm.py run -t zdtm/static/session00
...
$ gdb -c /tmp/core.61 criu/criu
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
598 if (&next->pid.node == NULL || next->pid.virt > pid)
$ make CC=clang
pstree.c:598:18: error: comparison of address of 'next->pid.node' equal to a null pointer is always false [-Werror,-Wtautological-pointer-compare]
if (&next->pid.node == NULL || next->pid.virt > pid)
