[PATCH v4 07/11] mm/kmemleak: Replace strncpy() with __get_task_comm()

[Yafang Shao <laoar.shao@gmail.com>]

Since task lock was dropped from __get_task_comm(), it's safe to call it
from kmemleak.

Using __get_task_comm() to read the task comm ensures that the name is
always NUL-terminated, regardless of the source string. This approach also
facilitates future extensions to the task comm.
