[pve-devel] [PATCH cluster 5/5] pmxcfs: status: avoid g_strdup when not needed

`filename_pve2` is not accessed anymore after assigning the copy to
`filename`, so we can simply 'transfer' the ownership to `filename`
and set `filenname_pve2` to NULL.

The call to `g_free(filename_pve2)` later can handle a NULL arg, it will
simply do nothing in this case.
