Verifier seems to support both. Check do_check in
kernel/bpf/verifier.c, around line 9000. So I decided to also support
it, even if Clang doesn't emit it (yet?).

Yeah, not sure why I assumed it might be optional, maybe the first
version of the code used to pass NULL in some other place. But I think
it's fine, this is a generic helper function that might be used later
as well. So I'd just keep it as is, it doesn't hurt.
