Hello,

This simple program fails to build:

#include <stddef.h>
#include <libxml/xmlerror.h>
int main(void) {
        initGenericErrorDefaultFunc(NULL);
}

/usr/include/libxml2/libxml/xmlerror.h:23:45: error: invalid use of void expression
       23 |     xmlSetGenericErrorFunc(NULL, (h) ? *(h) : NULL)

The compatibility macro is indeed wrong in the NULL case. The attached
patch, submitted upstream, fixes this.
