[V3,RESEND] drm/i915: Fix "mitigations" parsing if i915 is builtin

Commit Message

I met below error during boot with i915 builtin if pass
"i915.mitigations=off":
[    0.015589] Booting kernel: `off' invalid for parameter `i915.mitigations'

The reason is slab subsystem isn't ready at that time, so kstrdup()
returns NULL. Fix this issue by using stack var instead of kstrdup().

Fixes: 984cadea032b ("drm/i915: Allow the sysadmin to override security mitigations")

Since v2:
 - Use strscpy() per Ville's suggestion

Since v1:
 - Ensure "str" is properly terminated. Thanks Ville for pointing this out
