Patch series "task comm cleanups", v2. This patchset is part of the patchset "extend task comm from 16 to 24"[1]. Now we have different opinion that dynamically allocates memory to store kthread's long name into a separate pointer, so I decide to take the useful cleanups apart from the original patchset and send it separately[2]. These useful cleanups can make the usage around task comm less error-prone. Furthermore, it will be useful if we want to extend task comm in the future.

To make it be robust against full tsk->comm copies that got noticed in other places, we should make sure it's zero padded.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
