From: Jeff Cody <jcody@redhat.com>

The backing_filename string in mirror_run() is only used to check
for a NULL string, so we don't need to allocate 1024 bytes (or, later,
PATH_MAX bytes), when we only need to copy the first 2 characters.

We technically only need 1 byte, as we are just checking for NULL, but
since backing_filename[] is populated by bdrv_get_backing_filename(), a
string size of 1 will always only return '\0';
