The length check at the top of btintel_print_fseq_info() verifies
that the skb has at least 66 bytes (sizeof(u32) * 16 + 2), but the
function actually consumes 74 bytes:

   2 calls to skb_pull_data(skb, 1)  =  2 bytes
   18 calls to skb_pull_data(skb, 4) = 72 bytes

When the firmware returns a packet of exactly 66 bytes, the last two
skb_pull_data(skb, 4) calls return NULL, which is then passed directly
to get_unaligned_le32(), resulting in a NULL pointer dereference.

This patch refactors the function to check the return value of
`skb_pull_data` instead. This ensures that every time data is pulled
from the `skb`, we explicitly verify that it didn't return NULL,
guaranteeing safe access. A `malformed` label is added to handle
early termination in case the `skb` is too short, preserving the
original `bt_dev_dbg` logging behavior.

Fixes: a7ba218a44aa ("Bluetooth: btintel: Print Firmware Sequencer 
information")

v2:
   - Remove manual length check and validate every skb_pull_data() return.
   - Add 'malformed' label for unified error handling.
   - Fix GitLint title length warning.
