As Linus mentioned in [1], we should get rid of 'get_task_comm()'
entirely and replace it with 'strscpy_pad()' implementation.

'strscpy_pad()' will already make sure comm is NUL-terminated, so
we won't need the explicit final byte termination done in
'get_task_comm()'.

The relevant 'get_task_comm()' users were identified using the
following search pattern:
$ git grep 'get_task_comm*'

Sure, will include it in next version. Waiting for further reviews on this v7.

Thanks.
