Since task->comm is guaranteed to be NUL-terminated, we can print it directly without the need to copy it into a separate buffer.
So i think we should do the "without copying into a separate buffer"
part of this series, but I do think we should just accept "%s" and
"task->comm".
IOW - getting rid of get_task_comm() is good.
But the "%pTN" pointer format ends up being unnecessary.
