[PATCH] trace-cmd record: Use copy of PATH for strtok_r() operations

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

As strtok_r() modifies the string it is parsing, using the environment variable
PATH to find the paths for execution causes it to be truncated when reused by
exec. Instead, make a copy of the PATH environment variable to use to parse the
paths.

I had this fixed in my repo for some time and never pushed it out, but it was
eventually reported by others.
