In r309007, I made -fsanitize=null a hard prerequisite for -fsanitize=vptr. I did not see the need for the two checks to have separate null checking logic for the same pointer. I expected the two checks to either always be enabled together, or to be mutually compatible.
In the mailing list discussion re: r309007 it became clear that that isn't the case. If a codebase is -fsanitize=vptr clean but not -fsanitize=null clean, it's useful to have -fsanitize=vptr emit its own null check. That's what this patch does: with it, -fsanitize=vptr can be used without -fsanitize=null.
