Although, not preferable, the maggots themselves can be considered edible. (Gross)
If the tops look good, then there will be no harm in eating them. There would be little to no harm eating the rotting bulb, but I can’t imagine that it would taste anywhere near “good”.
The tops should taste just fine, though.
