strsep() slices string, so the string gets copied by param_set_copystring() at the end of quirks_param_set() is not the original value. Fix that by calling param_set_copystring() earlier. The null check for val is unnecessary, the caller of quirks_param_set() does not pass null string. Remove the superfluous null check. This is found by Smatch.
