Subject: [PATCH] fix(filetype): use unexpanded file name (#27931)

When the edited file is a symlink, the unexpanded file name is needed to
to achieve the same behavior as the autocommand pattern matching in Vim.
Neither args.file nor args.match are guaranteed to be unexpanded, so use
bufname() instead.
