[PATCH v2] perf/core: Replace memset(0) + strscpy() with strscpy_pad()

[Thorsten Blum]

Replace memset(0) followed by strscpy() with strscpy_pad() to improve
perf_event_comm_event(). This avoids zeroing the memory before copying
the string and ensures the destination buffer is only written to once,
simplifying the code and improving efficiency.

Changes in v2:
- Keep strlen() as we're not checking the return value of strscpy_pad()
  for string truncation
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250811091637.4492-2-thorsten.blum@xxxxxxxxx/
