Subjectradix-tree.c:__lookup_slot() dead code removal
Most of the code suggests that it is valid to insert a NULL item,
possibly a zero item with pointer cast. However, in __lookup_slot()
whether or not the slot is found seems to depend on the actual value
of the item in one special case. But further on it doesn't make any
difference so to remove some dead code:
