Coccinelle needs a custom isomorphism file with rules (isomorphisms) how
to correctly rewrite conditions with explicit NULL checks (i.e.
if (ptr == NULL)) to their shorter form (i.e. if (!ptr)). Coccinelle
already contains such isomorphisms in its default .iso file, however,
they're in the opposite direction, which results in useless output from
coccinelle/equals-null.cocci.
With this fix, `spatch` should no longer report patches like:
