[PATCH 2/3] tracing: protect reader of cmdline output

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

Impact: fix to one cause of incorrect comm outputs in trace

The spinlock only protected the creation of a comm <=> pid pair.
But it was possible that a reader could look up a pid, and get the
wrong comm because it had no locking.

This also required changing trace_find_cmdline to copy the comm cache
and not just send back a pointer to it.
