nfs: fix null checking in nfs_get_option_str()
The following null pointer check is broken. *option = match_strdup(args); return !option; The pointer `option' must be non-null, and thus `!option' is always false. Use `!*option' instead. The bug was introduced in commit c5cb09b6f8 ("Cleanup: Factor out some cut-and-paste code.").
