Remove check for NULL buffer passed to `ptsname_r'
`ptsname_r' is declared in stdlib.h to only accept a `nonnull' second argument and therefore GCC may choose to make optimizations based on the assumption that this argument is NULL. This means that potentially, GCC can optimize away the NULL check at some point in the future. Since this is a programming interface, we might as well remove the NULL check ourselves. This also warrants a change to the `ptsname_r' manual page that must be submitted to the corresponding mailing list. In addition, remove the NULL buffer test in login/tst-ptsname.c.
