Assume that the driver does not own the option string or its substrings
and hence duplicate the option string for the video mode. Allocate the
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.
v2:
* replace static memory with kstrdup()/kfree() (Geert)
