[PATCH v2 0/7] task comm cleanups

This patchset is part of the patchset "extend task comm from 16 to 24"[1].
Now we have different opinion that dynamically allocates memory to store
kthread's long name into a separate pointer, so I decide to take the useful
cleanups apart from the original patchset and send it separately[2].

These useful cleanups can make the usage around task comm less
error-prone. Furthermore, it will be useful if we want to extend task
comm in the future.

Changes since v1:
- improve the subject and description
- add comment to explain the hard-coded 16 in patch #4
