Subject: [PATCH 1/1] perf test vfs_getname: Look for alternative line where
 to collect the pathname

The getname_flags() routine changed recently and thus the place where we
were getting the pathname is not probeable anymore, albeit still
present, so use the next line for that, before:

  root@...ber:/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next# perf test vfs_getname
   91: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames             : FAILED!
   93: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames             : FAILED!
  126: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname          : FAILED!
  root@...ber:/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next#

Now tests 91 and 126 are passing, some more investigation is needed for
test 93, that continues to fail.
