[PATCH 2/2] always check for NULL return from packet_read_line()

[Jon Simons <jon@jonsimons.org>]

The packet_read_line() function will die if it sees any
protocol or socket errors. But it will return NULL for a
flush packet; some callers which are not expecting this may
dereference NULL if they get an unexpected flush. This would
involve the other side breaking protocol, but we should
flag the error rather than segfault.
