Dongsoo reported that perf-kvm was segfaulting. The bug was introduced by
commit 3786063 which moved file_name from struct perf_kvm which was
initialized on the stack to an uninitialized stack variable. Fix by
initializing.
Needs to be applied to 3.7 and 3.8 as well.

very odd. Arnaldo's latest perf/urgent has the problem -- and no
initialized variable. Seems to have been dropped somewhere.

Just fast forwarded my perf/urgent to tip/perf/urgent, checked and the
fix is there as pointed out by Xiao.
