cve_check: skip remote patches that haven't been fetched when searching for CVE tags

If a remote patch is compressed we need to have run the unpack task for
the file to exist locally.  Currently cve_check only depends on fetch so
instead of erroring out, emit a warning that this file won't be scanned
for CVE references.

Typically, remote compressed patches won't contain our custom tags, so
this is unlikely to be an issue.
