Why not bpf_probe_read_kernel_str(dst, 16, task->real_parent->comm)
for fentry/fexit/tp_btf/etc BTF-aware BPF programs or
BPF_CORE_READ_STR_INTO(dst, task, real_parent, comm) for any BPF
program that has bpf_probe_read_kernel[_str]() (which is pretty much
every BPF program nowadays, I think)?

Yes, CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y Kconfig is a requirement, but it's a good
idea to have that if you are using BPF anyways.
