      Dereference after null check

      Either the check against null is unnecessary, or there may be a null pointer dereference. Pointer is checked against null but then dereferenced anyway
      /src/btree/bt_sync.c:227: FORWARD_NULL 121527 Comparing "ref->page" to null implies that "ref->page" might be null.
      /src/btree/bt_sync.c:284: FORWARD_NULL 121527 Dereferencing null pointer "ref->page".
