Makes sense to me although I have a few small comments below.

We should be able to set the temporary file name buffer size without
reference to the format of the name i.e. #define it or use PATH_MAX

Do we care that it is kmodule i.e. why isn't this function called just
dso__decompress_path().

Why not just put the buf in the outer scope instead of using strdup().
