introduced a call to basename(). The GNU version of this function is not
portable and fails to build with alternative libc implementations like
musl or bionic. This causes the following build error:

 drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_gen_wa_oob.c:130:12: error: assignment to ‘const char *’ 
from ‘int’ makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]
   130 |         fn = basename(fn);
       |            ^

While a POSIX version of basename() could be used, it would require a
separate header plus the behavior differs from GNU version in that it
might modify its argument. Not great.

Instead replace basename() with a strrchr() based implementation which
provides the same functionality and avoid portability issues.

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.
