[PATCH nvme-7.3 v3 1/4] nvme-fabrics: separate option tokenizer pointer

From: Xu Rao <raoxu at uniontech.com>

nvmf_parse_options() currently uses p both for the option returned by
strsep() and for strings allocated by match_strdup().  The former points
into the temporary options buffer while the latter owns a separate
allocation, so the same variable represents two different lifetimes.

Introduce option for the current string token passed to match_token().
Leave p for temporary strings returned by match_strdup(), giving option
tokenization and allocated string storage distinct variables without
changing the parsing logic.

The name option is intentional: options remains the backing buffer for the
full request, option is one comma/newline-delimited entry, and token names
the integer result returned by match_token().

This is a mechanical preparation with no functional change.
