[PATCH 6.19 263/342] drm/amdgpu: fix strsep() corrupting lockup_timeout on multi-GPU (v3)

commit 2d300ebfc411205fa31ba7741c5821d381912381 upstream.

amdgpu_device_get_job_timeout_settings() passes a pointer directly
to the global amdgpu_lockup_timeout[] buffer into strsep().
strsep() destructively replaces delimiter characters with '\0'
in-place.

On multi-GPU systems, this function is called once per device.
When a multi-value setting like "0,0,0,-1" is used, the first
GPU's call transforms the global buffer into "0\00\00\0-1". The
second GPU then sees only "0" (terminated at the first '\0'),
parses a single value, hits the single-value fallthrough
(index == 1), and applies timeout=0 to all rings — causing
immediate false job timeouts.

Fix this by copying into a stack-local array before calling
strsep(), so the global module parameter buffer remains intact
across calls. The buffer is AMDGPU_MAX_TIMEOUT_PARAM_LENGTH
(256) bytes, which is safe for the stack.

v2: wrap commit message to 72 columns, add Assisted-by tag.
v3: use stack array with strscpy() instead of kstrdup()/kfree()
to avoid unnecessary heap allocation (Christian).

This patch was developed with assistance from Claude (claude-opus-4-6).
