Thanks, applied and tested both patches on a fedora 33 system where
previously those tests were failing:

Committer testing:

# cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora release 33 (Thirty Three)
#

Before:

# perf test vfs_getname
78: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : FAILED!
79: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname : FAILED!
81: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : FAILED!
#

After:

# perf test vfs_getname
78: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Ok
79: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname : Ok
81: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Ok
#
