perf kvm: Initialize file_name var to fix segfault
The 3786063 commit: perf kvm: Rename perf_kvm to perf_kvm_stat Moved the file_name from inside a local struct var that initialized some of its members, thus zero initializing the not explicitely initialized variables, one of which was 'file_name', to a standalone local variable, but forgot to initialize it explicitely to NULL, so it then got some undefined value, causing a segfault in strdup when it wasn't, by luck, zero. Fix it by explicitely initializing it to NULL.
