hwdb: fix dangling 'else' ambuguity
Imagine the following use of hwdb:
if (condition_A)
SD_HWDB_FOREACH_PROPERTY(hwdb, modalias, key, value)
operation_A(key, value);
else
log_error("...");
This should work just fine, but but definitely does not what you would
expect. Due to how SD_HWDB_FOREACH_PROPERTY is defined, the dangling
'else' is linked to the hidden 'if' statement in the macro instead of the
outer 'if (condition_A)'. This is unexpected and really annoying to debug.
Fix this by never leaving un-finished if-statements in
SD_HWDB_FOREACH_PROPERTY(). We simply inverse the if() statement and
explicitly add an 'else'-branch. This way, the statement is closed and all
ambuguities are resolved.
