Subject: [PATCH] nfsroot: Fix missing check for return value of strsep()

The strsep() function in root_nfs_parse_options() may return NULL 
if argument 'incoming' is NULL. Since 'incoming' has Null check in 
this function, it is also need to add Null check for return value
 of strsep().

Found by our static analysis tool.
