Summary:
Previously, the following command:
```USE_CLANG=1 TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm/rocksdb OPT=-g make -j$(nproc) analyze```
was raising an error/warning the new_mem could potentially be a `nullptr`. This error appeared due to code changes from https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/8454, including an if-statement containing "`... && new_mem != nullptr && ...`", which made the analyzer believe that past this `if`-statement, a `new_mem==nullptr` was a possible scenario.
This code patch simply introduces `assert`s and removes this condition in the `if`-statement.
