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
