This may be misguided. The reason is that if function is used often enough
then all those clears of the second argument bloat icache at the call sites.
Uninlining moves all clears in one place, shrinking callers at the cost of
additional function which (in this case) tail calls into another function.
And tailcalling is quite efficient (essentially free):
getname:
xor esi, esi
jmp getname_flags
