[PATCH master] blspec: fix memory leak handling NFS URLs

parse_nfs_url() returns either an allocated string on success or an
error pointer otherwise. blspec_bootentry_provider() will early
exit if the path couldn't be resolved and thus not free() the string.

Fix this memory leak. While at it, change parse_nfs_url() to return NULL
on error. The error code is unused and just returning NULL, simplifies
the code.
