Subject: [PATCH v6 03/12] drivers/connector: make connector comm always nul ternimated

connector comm was introduced in commit
f786ecba4158 ("connector: add comm change event report to proc connector").
struct comm_proc_event was defined in include/linux/cn_proc.h first and
then been moved into file include/uapi/linux/cn_proc.h in commit
607ca46e97a1 ("UAPI: (Scripted) Disintegrate include/linux").

As this is the UAPI code, we can't change it without potentially breaking
things (i.e. userspace binaries have this size built in, so we can't just
change the size). To prepare for the followup change - extending task
comm, we have to use __get_task_comm() to avoid the BUILD_BUG_ON() in
proc_comm_connector().

__get_task_comm() always get a nul terminated string, so we don't worry
about whether it is truncated or not.
