Subject: [PATCH] pass buffer sizes when using get_task_comm()
This patch redefines get_task_comm so that it takes the explicit
length of the destination buffer to try and reduce the chance that it
will be misused by callers (presently nothing was incorrectly calling
get_task_comm with destination buffers small enough to make the existing
unsafe use strncpy an actual buffer overflow).
