[PATCH] 9p: use copy of the options value instead of original

From: Latchesar Ionkov
Date: Fri Oct 26 2007 - 19:05:33 EST


v9fs_parse_options function uses strsep which modifies the value of the
v9ses->options field. That modified value is later passed to the function
that creates the transport potentially making the transport creation
function to fail.

This patch creates a copy of v9ses->option field that v9fs_parse_options
function uses instead of the original value.
