There's nothing special regarding this particular pointer, but such checks are
common in other parts of LLVM.
We use asserts liberally throughout the LLVM codebase
(https://llvm.org/docs/CodingStandards.html#assert-liberally) and asserting
that a pointer is valid is common.
The other thing to keep in mind is that debug builds of LLVM are > 20GB, and
enabling asserts is a more desirable choice for most of our developers. That
probably isn't as bad for clang-doc, but I'd rather err on the side of caution.
While I agree that right now it may be a bit strange to have a single assert,
hopefully overtime the surrounding code will start to use such checks in a way
that is more consistent with the rest of the codebase.
But like I said, an early return is also fine IMO.

Now that I see this in context, I agree that it doesn't need a comment.
