[PATCH] selftests/vfio: Include <libgen.h> for basename() on non-glibc builds

[PATCH] selftests/vfio: Include <libgen.h> for basename() on non-glibc builds

[Hisam Mehboob]

sysfs.c calls basename() but does not include its declaration.
Glibc exposes basename() through <string.h> with _GNU_SOURCE, while
musl declares it in <libgen.h>.

With musl, this results in an implicit-function-declaration error and
subsequent type-mismatch errors at the callers.

Include <libgen.h> so the declaration is available on both glibc and
musl. This is safe at both call sites: the arguments are local writable
char[PATH_MAX] buffers filled by readlink_safe().
