[PATCH] fastboot: handle error from file_list_parse()

In case an invalid file list is passed to file_list_parse(), it will
return an error, i.e. by passing "/dev/mmc1(emmc) /dev/mmc1.1(root)",
the error here being that the entries are not comma separated and
file_list_parse will try to parse ' ' as a flag. The fastboot code
didn't handle this, leading to the following error:

  ERROR: file_list: Unknown flag ' '
  ERROR: file_list: parse error
  unable to handle paging request at address 0xfffffff2
