Summary

This change fixes two NULL pointer dereferences caused by the
__bt_first function.

The first was caused by returning 0 (i.e., RET_SUCCESS) when a key
was not found, causing the caller to dereference an uninitalized
or NULL pointer. The second one was caused by an if statment clobbering
a local variable with a function call result that might be NULL.
