When a VFS overlay YAML file contains malformed content such as tabs, the YAML parser can produce KeyValueNode entries where `getKey` returns nullptr. The VFS overlay parser then passes these null pointers to `parseScalarString`, which then calls dyn_cast on a nullptr.
Add null checks for `getKey` to bail out early on malformed input.
