With print-fatal-signals enabled, this will also be called for dumping user mode
register state. With your patch, we now get something like this

----------->8-------------------------

[EFA]: 0x0001036a
[ERET]: 0x0001036a (PC of Faulting Instr)
...
...
----------->8-------------------------

Clearly there's duplication (rather triplication) of task name and tgid output.

Although in line [2], ARC trouble-shooting code prints the task path (rather than
comm). This was done to help identify faulting LTP open posix tests with same name
in different directories: e.g. fork/6-1, sigqueue/6-1 ....
Is this something you want to add to generic code as well - although it's slightly
involved due to tsk/mm locking etc.

Also I personally prefer the more compact <task-nm>/<tgid> format of [1] vs. [3].

Anyhow, can you please fold the following into your patchset to reduce above
duplication.
