In my understanding, the concern is that there could be note loss when 
`Value.hasValue()` evaluates to `false` and at the same time `SubobjectDecl` is 
`nullptr` explicitly passed in this change. 
`[[gnu::weak]]` member pointer comparison is the only example of this happening 
in the clang test codes where `Subobject` is `nullptr` passed at 
ExprConstant.cpp:2454 in `CheckFullyInitialized`. In this case the 
"uninitialized subobject" note was not displayed before this patch as well 
because there is another note issued elsewhere. Thus, the note loss does not 
happen.

BTW, I checked where the `[[gnu::weak]]` note is issued and I think there might 
be a mistake in the return statements. The `return true` should be `return 
false` because the constexpr evaluator fails to evaluate the expression, right? 
Correct me if I am wrong. Here's the reference:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/e58a49300e757ff61142f6abd227bd1437c1cf87/clang/lib/AST/ExprConstant.cpp#L13140-L13151

If we change them to `false`, `CheckFullyInitialized` will not be called in 
this scenario, and we will  have no test cases where `SubobjectDecl` is 
`nullptr` and at the same time `Value.hasValue()` is `false`. I am unsure 
whether this is due to the lack of test coverage or it is guaranteed that this 
condition does not hold here.

If `SubobjectDecl` is null, it would cause segfault when the `FFDiag` note is 
displayed, I think.

The best way I can think of would be to `assert(SubobjectDecl)` here, but I am 
still struggling and would like to ask for comments.
