index: fix NULL pointer access in index_remove_entry When removing an entry from the index by its position, we first retrieve the position from the index's entries and then try to remove the retrieved value from the index map with `DELETE_IN_MAP`. When `index_remove_entry` returns `NULL` we try to feed it into the `DELETE_IN_MAP` macro, which will unconditionally call `idxentry_hash` and then happily dereference the `NULL` entry pointer. Fix the issue by not passing a `NULL` entry into `DELETE_IN_MAP`.
