improve_kernel_cve_report: fix backported-patch check

The guard added in 80ff4903ea tests "detail" in cve_data, but cve_data is
keyed by CVE id, so it asks whether a CVE literally named "detail" was
scanned. That is never true, the condition short-circuits, and the guard
never runs: a CVE_STATUS[CVE-...] = "backported-patch" set for a vendor
cherry-picked patch is silently overwritten to Unpatched by the CNA.

Use .get() on the entry instead. Guard the fallthrough warning the same
way, it makes the same assumption.

Tested against a qemuarm64 linux-yocto report (6.6.142+git, 16221 entries,
4313 of them with no detail). Current master and this version produce
identical output, 18773 entries with no difference. Adding
CVE_STATUS[CVE-2024-42067] = "backported-patch" to that report then makes
the only difference between them: master overwrites it to Unpatched, this
version keeps it Patched. The pre-80ff4903ea code aborts on the same
report with "KeyError: 'detail'".
