When running the file info tests under Miri with `-Zmiri-tag-raw-pointers` enabled, `new_impl` triggered a Stacked Borrows error. This occurred because after a mutable info pointer to the raw `u8` buffer was created, we went back and created another mutable pointer within the `u8` buffer to copy the name string into. Fix by creating the name destination pointer from the info pointer rather than the `u8` buffer pointer.
