Subject: [RFC v2][PATCH 6/9] Simplify filename handling for now
The filename handling is a bit clunky, as one of the reviewers
noted. It can allocate memory in one of two places and that
makes things look a bit weird.
We don't *really* need the filename sitting around in its own
buffer, so let's just combine the writing and the filename
generation.
It moves the order in which the things in the VMA are done,
but it doens't change the order in which they are written
to the checkpoint file.
Note how much code this removes.
