bug#49178: 28.0.50; make-auto-save-file-name connects to remote

[Sam Steingold <sds@gnu.org>]

Hi Michael,

The doc for `tramp-allow-unsafe-temporary-files ` says:
>>> Whether root-owned auto-save or backup files can be written to "/tmp"

1. the file is not owned by root
2. `auto-save-list-file-prefix` is under my home, not /tmp
