@arg is const char *, but disk_img_name_parser() modifies it, which leads
to a compilation error on x86 with gcc 15.2.1:

disk/core.c:27:21: error: assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
   27 |                 sep = strstr(arg, ":");

Make a copy of @arg and modify it instead, and be very careful to free it
when no longer needed.

I followed the instruction from Documentation/io-testing, but I couldn't
get a virtio SCSI disk work in a VM, I kept getting this kvmtool error when
the guest tried to use it:

[    0.154837] virtio_scsi virtio1: 1/0/0 default/read/poll queues
[    0.156965] scsi host0: Virtio SCSI HBA
  Fatal: VHOST_SCSI_SET_ENDPOINT failed 19

I did print disk_image_params->{filename,wwpn,readonly,direct} before and
after the patch and they were identical. Also ran valgrind to make sure
there were no leaks, but I didn't cover all the possible execution flows.

Would be really nice if someone with working virtio-scsi could test this :)
