Why the "retain_and_null_ptr() and not just:

        mon->root-d = no_free_ptr(dir);
        return 0;

As from my understanding is that the retain_and_null_ptr() is for use of
passing the variable to a function that will consume it. But for assigning
to a variable, I usually just use the no_free_ptr().

Same here.

Here it makes sense to use retain_and_null_ptr() as the two variables were
passed to another function. But the other two locations should simply use
the no_free_ptr() wrapper.
