[PATCH] perf kvm: fix segfault by initializing file_name to NULL

[David Ahern]

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.
