Subject: [PATCH] kvm tool: Make kvm structure to carry name copy
If default guest name is used (which is the default
case) the kvm might end up carrying the pointer to
a name which is allocated on stack.
kvm_cmd_run_init
(on stack) default_name
kvm__init(..., default_name)
kvm->name = default_name
So make it to carry a copy of name.
