The value argument can be NULL, for example, in hw/i386/multiboot.c
in the load_multiboot function get_opt_value is explicitly called
with NULL as the second argument.

The problem was introduced in commit 950c4e6c94b1 ("opts: don't
silently truncate long option values"). This change fixes the
problem by adding a check whether the value is NULL or not.
