Subject: [GIT PULL] tracing: Three more updates for 4.12


Linus,

These are three simple changes.

The first one is just a switch from using strcpy() to strlcpy(). Someone
thought that it may cause an overflow bug, but since it only copies comms
into a pre-allocated array of TASK_COMM_LEN, and no comm should ever
be bigger than that, nor not end with a nul character, this change is more
of a safety precaution than fixing anything that is actually broken.

The other two changes are simply cleaning and optimizing some code.

Note, I added these on top of the commit that you merged. That way, I
was able to test these patches along with your merge changes.
