encoding/json: don't indirect pointers when decoding null
The indirect method checked the type of the child when indirecting a pointer. If the current value is a pointer and we are decoding null, we can skip this entirely and return early, avoiding the whole descent. Fixes #31776 Change-Id: Ib8b2a2357572c41f56fceac59b5a858980f3f65e Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/174699 Run-TryBot: Daniel Martí <mvdan@mvdan.cc> TryBot-Result: Gobot Gobot <gobot@golang.org> Reviewed-by: Daniel Martí <mvdan@mvdan.cc>
