address_space_write_rom_internal can take in a NULL pointer for ptr if it's only doing cache flushes instead of populating the ROM.
However, if building with --enable-ubsan, incrementing buf causes ubsan to go off when doing cache flushes, since it will trigger on pointer arithmetic on a NULL pointer, even if that NULL pointer doesn't get dereferenced. To fix this, we can move the buf incrementing to only be done when writing data to ROM, since that's the only point where it gets dereferenced and should be non-NULL. Found by running: qemu-system-aarch64 \ -machine virt \ -accel kvm When built with --enable-ubsan.
