misc: lkdtm: Add volatile to intentional NULL pointer reference
Add a volatile qualifier where a NULL pointer is deliberately dereferenced to trigger a panic. Without the volatile qualifier clang will issue the following warning: "indirection of non-volatile null pointer will be deleted, not trap [-Wnull-dereference]" and replace the pointer reference with a __builtin_trap() (which generates a ud2 instruction on x86_64).
