There was no space in `((void *)0)` before D158709 
<https://reviews.llvm.org/D158709>. This can cause
downstream warnings in case other libraries define `NULL` as
`((void*)0)`, which is the case for musl. (see `NULL` definition in
https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/include/stdio.h)

When a macro is redefined, if the content is the same it is fine, but if
it is different even in terms of a single space, clang warns:

  ../musl//nclude/stdio.h:37:9: error: 'NULL' macro redefined 
[-Werror,-Wmacro-redefined]
     37 | #define NULL ((void*)0)
        |         ^

The old code didn't have the space and it had been fine for many years,
so I think there's no risk in removing it. The linter seems to prefer
the space in there, but I think it has a risk of causing warnings or
even errors for downstream users.
