This fixes a kmemleak leak warning complaining about working on
unitializied memory as found in the function, getname_flages. Seems
that we are indeed working on unitialized memory, as the filename
char pointer is never made to point to the filname structure's result
member for holding it's name, fix this by using memcpy to copy the
filname structure pointer's, name to the char pointer passed to this
function.
