From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <a...@redhat.com> It shouldn't be zero, but if the 'perf probe' on getname_flags() (or elsewhere in the future we need to probe to catch the pathname for syscalls like 'open' being copied from userspace to the kernel) is misplaced somehow, then we will end up not allocating space and trying to copy the "" empty string to ttrace->filename.name, causing a segfault, fix it.
