Callers of `get_entry_index()` are required to pass a non-NULL
`exact_match` parameter to receive information about whether an exact
match is found. However, in some cases, callers only need the index
position.
Let's allow callers to pass NULL for the `exact_match` parameter
when they don't need this information, reducing unnecessary variable
declarations in calling code.
