Due to the introduction of NULL pointer detection feature, page 0 will be
disabled if the feature is enabled, which will cause legacy code failed to
update legacy data in page 0. This macro is introduced to make sure the
page 0 is enabled before those code and restore the original status of it
afterwards.
Another reason to introduce this macro is to eliminate the dependency on
the PcdNullPointerDetectionPropertyMask. Because this is a new PCD, it
could cause some backward compatibility issue for some old packages.
This macro will simply check if the page 0 is disabled or not. If it's
disabled, it will enable it before code updating page 0 and disable it
afterwards. Otherwise, this macro will do nothing to page 0.
The usage of the macro will be look like (similar to DEBUG_CODE macro):
ACCESS_PAGE0_CODE(
{
<code accessing page 0>
}
);

&= is used here so Desc_.Attributes is updated to have RP cleared.
Then the below if will be always FALSE.

Good catch. I think it's a typo not on purpose. Many thanks!
