blspec: fix use-after-free of firmware search path
firmware_set_searchpath() is used to temporarily extend firmware search
path when parsing boot spec files. It does so by first freeing the
original firmware pointer and then storing a pointer to a copy of the
new search path.
firmware_get_searchpath() returns this pointer without copying meaning
that following sequence causes a use-after-free:
old_fws = firmware_get_searchpath();
firmware_set_searchpath(fws); /* calls free(old_fws) */
firmware_set_searchpath(old_fws);
Fix this by keeping around a copy of the search path.
