[Bionic] [PATCH 2/3] usb: core: Copy parameter string correctly and remove superfluous null check

[Kai-Heng Feng]

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1762695

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.
