This adds comments above radix_tree_next_slot() documenting the combination
of factors that prevent us from dereferencing a NULL 'slot' pointer.  It
also adds a radix tree unit test so that we can easily catch any unhandled
NULL pointer issues with radix_tree_next_slot().

Changes from V1:
 - Instead of adding an explicit check for 'slot' being NULL at the
   beginning of radix_tree_next_slot(), document what factors are keeping
   us safe instead.  (Konstantin)

Ross Zwisler (3):
  radix-tree: 'slot' can be NULL in radix_tree_next_slot()
  radix-tree tests: add iteration test
  radix-tree tests: properly initialize mutex
