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.
