[PATCH v2 05/11] ref-filter: skip deref specifier in match_atom_name()

[Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>]

In upcoming patches we make calls to match_atom_name() with the '*'
deref specifier still attached to the atom name. This causes
undesirable errors, hence, if present skip over the '*' deref
specifier in the atom name.
