4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 03fa483821c0b4db7c2b1453d3332f397d82313f ]
Some kernels, like 4.19.13-300.fc29.x86_64 in fedora 29, fail with the existing probe definition asking for the contents of result->name, working when we ask for the 'filename' variable instead, so add a fallback to that.
Now those tests are back working on fedora 29 systems with that kernel:
# perf test vfs_getname 65: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Ok 66: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Ok 67: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Ok #
