grep: handle deref_tag() returning NULL
deref_tag() can return NULL. Exit gracefully in that case instead
of blindly dereferencing the return value.
.name shouldn't ever be NULL, but grep_object() handles that case
explicitly, so let's be defensive here as well and show the broken
object's ID if it happens to lack a name after all.
