Commit e4492020d5 for wordpress.org

commit e4492020d5d1095c9fbe8255a64ffff9eccd28d0
Author: Weston Ruter <weston@xwp.co>

    Docs: Explicitly return `null` when documented instead of `void` in `link-template.php` functions.

    The phpdoc `@return` tags for these functions indicate they may return `null`. This also fixes "Missing return argument" warnings which an IDE may also complain about.
