Subject: [PATCH v3] fs: record task name which froze superblock

Freezing and thawing are separate system calls, task which is supposed
to thaw filesystem/superblock can disappear due to crash or not thaw
due to a bug. At least record task name (we can't take task_struct
reference) to make support engineer's life easier.

Hopefully 16 bytes per superblock isn't much.

TASK_COMM_LEN definition (which is userspace ABI, see prctl(PR_SET_NAME)) is
moved to userspace exported header to not drag sched.h into every fs.h inclusion.
