When the accumulated trie key exceeds the fixed-size line buffer, linebuf_get() returns NULL. trie_fnmatch_f() passed that NULL straight into fnmatch() as the pattern, causing a SIGSEGV on a crafted hwdb.bin (reachable now that recursion is capped rather than overflowing the stack first). Treat the NULL like the other corruption checks and return -EBADMSG.
