fib_trie: Avoid NULL pointer if local table is not allocated
The function fib_unmerge assumed the local table had already been allocated. If that is not the case however when custom rules are applied then this can result in a NULL pointer dereference. In order to prevent this we must check the value of the local table pointer and if it is NULL simply return 0 as there is no local table to separate from the main.
