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.").
