FI is NULL, return the null_frame_id.
NOTE: kettenis/20040508: These functions return a structure. On
platforms where structures are returned in static storage (vax,
m68k), this may trigger compiler bugs in code like:
if (frame_id_eq (get_frame_id (l), get_frame_id (r)))
where the return value from the first get_frame_id (l) gets
overwritten by the second get_frame_id (r). Please avoid writing
code like this. Use code like:
struct frame_id id = get_frame_id (l);
if (frame_id_eq (id, get_frame_id (r)))
instead, since that avoids the bug. */
