> unique_ctrl_out was used in contexts where NULL may be a valid return, and is also used in contexts where NULL is not expected.
> 
> I improved the code by having two functions instead:
> unique_ctrl_out_or_null: return the unique control out, or NULL if there is no or more than one control out.
> unique_ctrl_out: return the unique control out, assert if there is no or more than one control out.
> 
> This makes implicit assumptions explicit and also validates them in the future.
> 
> I changed the usage to unique_ctrl_out_or_null where NULL is among the expected return values.
> 
> Ran tests to verify that the assert never triggers.
