The function quirks_param_set() takes as argument a const char* pointer
to the new value of the usbcore.quirks parameter. It then casts this
pointer to a non-const char* pointer and passes it to the strsep()
function, which overwrites the value.

Fix this by copying the value to a local buffer on the stack and 
letting that buffer be written to by strsep().
