I think just a xbasename() helper like we've added in kmod would be
preferred:
https://github.com/kmod-project/kmod/commit/11eb9bc67c319900ab00523997323a97d2d08ad2
Alternativelly add it somewhere that can be shared across the userspace
tools in the kernel tree to fix the mess that we have here:
git grep basename -- tools/**.c
Some dup the arg simply to be able to use the libgen.h version, some use
one or the other on purpose, etc etc.
