    miner: set parents to NULL to avoid segfault if early "goto out"
    
    The symptom from this segfault in the miner is gnome-documents telling
    GData dbus timeout (due to service dying without a reply).
    
    parents is freed uninitialized if one of the call to tracker fails
    thus setting error to non null, ie goto out before parents is assigned
    in account_miner_job_process_entry.
    
    The issue which triggered tracker to return a non null error
    disappeared after a run with this fix. I miss a commplete log with
    LIBGDATA_DEBUG=7 and G_MESSAGES_DEBUG="Tracker,Gjs,libgdata".
    
    Still the gdb backtrace with GDATA_MINER_PERSIST=1 showed that the error
    came from:
     alternate = gdata_entry_look_up_link (entry, GDATA_LINK_ALTERNATE);
      alternate_uri = gdata_link_get_uri (alternate);
    
      _tracker_sparql_connection_insert_or_replace_triple
        (job->connection,
         job->cancellable, error,
         identifier, resource,
         "nie:url", alternate_uri);
