[PATCH v2 099/101] staging/sm750fb: Duplicate video-mode option string

Assume that the driver does not own the option string or its substrings
and hence duplicate the option stringis for the video mode. Allocate each
copy's memory with kstrdup() and free it in the module's exit function.

Done in preparation of switching the driver to struct option_iter and
constifying the option string.
