This probably doesn't matter in practice, but could matter for new dtypes in principle. It's just the right way now.

This is a plain bug-fix, it could (and maybe should) be backported. In this branch attr is explicitly still NULL, since result == 0.
This fixes the scalar handling in the array-interface and also a bug in the shape handling error path. In theory it breaks code that used NULL to trigger the scalar path, but this path was: 1. Completely undocumented, and 2. correctly triggered by *ommitting* the data field instead. I didn't remove/deprecate the scalar path in this PR, maybe we should. But, I do think we can ignore that theoretical use-case since it is nonsensical. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Berg <sebastianb@nvidia.com>
