Using {memcpy,strncpy,strcpy,kstrdup} to copy the task comm relies on the
length of task comm. Changes in the task comm could result in a destination
string that is overflow. Therefore, we should explicitly ensure the
destination string is always NUL-terminated, regardless of the task comm.
This approach will facilitate future extensions to the task comm.

As suggested by Linus [0], we can identify all relevant code with the
following git grep command:

  git grep 'memcpy.*->comm\>'
  git grep 'kstrdup.*->comm\>'
  git grep 'strncpy.*->comm\>'
  git grep 'strcpy.*->comm\>'

PATCH #2~#4:   memcpy
PATCH #5~#6:   kstrdup
PATCH #7~#8:   strcpy

Please note that strncpy() is not included in this series as it is being
tracked by another effort. [1]

In this series, we have removed __get_task_comm() because the task_lock()
and BUILD_BUG_ON() within it are unnecessary.

Hello Andrew,

Could you please apply this series to the mm tree ?
