Subject: [PATCH v5 03/15] sched.h: introduce TASK_COMM_LEN_16

There're many hard-coded 16 used to store task comm in the kernel, that
makes it error prone if we want to change the value of TASK_COMM_LEN. A
new marco TASK_COMM_LEN_16 is introduced to replace these old ones, then
we can easily grep them.
