Subject: [PATCH 33/60] staging: lustre: libcfs: avoid stomping on module param cpu_pattern

From: Dmitry Eremin <dmitry.eremin@...el.com>

The function cfs_cpt_table_create_pattern() alters the string
passed to it. Currently we are passing in the module parameter
string cpu_pattern which is incorrect. Instead lets duplicate
the module parameter string and pass that to the function
cfs_cpt_table_create_pattern().
