tar: fix memory corruption in extract1 (thanks petter)

extract1() expects two extra bytes to be avilabe before
fname buffer so it can prepend ./ before the name. this
used to be the case with name(), but was violated when
long name support was added and getname() was used in
place of name() which did not reserve the 2 extra bytes.

this change reserves two extra bytes in the getname()'s
static buffer and also removes the extra copy as name()
already makes a copy.
