We want to make sure that the `KDFParameters` value passed to the protected 
constructor is `null`. In the process of passing `null`, we check that the 
`P11KDF` constructor caller did not pass a non-null value. The method 
`requireNull` serves the purpose of ensuring that `null` is passed, that 
`KDFParameters kdfParameters` is `null` and allows code execution before the 
call the super class constructor, so the `token`, `svcKi` and `hmacMechanism` 
fields can be `final`. While `null` is returned, the value is technically used 
because it's received by the super class constructor.
