afs: Set vllist to NULL if addr parsing fails

syzbot reported a bug in in afs_put_vlserverlist.

  kAFS: bad VL server IP address

Because afs_parse_text_addrs() parses incorrectly, its return value -EINVAL
is assigned to vllist, which results in -EINVAL being used as the vllist
address when afs_put_vlserverlist() is executed.

Set the vllist value to NULL when a parsing error occurs to avoid this
issue.
