extlinux: Avoid dereferencing a garbage pointer

If opt.reset_adv is set the call to ext_read_adv() is skipped which
would have initialised 'filename'. This means that a pointer
containing random data from the stack is passed to ext_write_adv().

Just delete the opt.reset_adv logic since modify_adv() handles that
case anyway.
