Suppress compiler warning in relptr_store().

clang 13 with -Wextra warns that "performing pointer subtraction with
a null pointer has undefined behavior" in the places where freepage.c
tries to set a relptr variable to constant NULL.  This appears to be
a compiler bug, but it's unlikely to get fixed instantly.  Fortunately,
we can work around it by introducing an inline support function, which
seems like a good change anyway because it removes the macro's existing
double-evaluation hazard.

Backpatch to v10 where this code was introduced.

Patch by me, based on an idea of Andres Freund's.
