[PATCH v7 2/4] include: Set tsk->comm length to 64 bytes

[Bhupesh <bhupesh@igalia.com>]

Historically due to the 16-byte length of TASK_COMM_LEN, the
users of 'tsk->comm' are restricted to use a fixed-size target
buffer also of TASK_COMM_LEN for 'memcpy()' like use-cases.

To fix the same, we now use a 64-byte TASK_COMM_EXT_LEN and
set the comm element inside 'task_struct' to the same length:
       struct task_struct {
	       .....
               char    comm[TASK_COMM_EXT_LEN];
	       .....
       };

       where TASK_COMM_EXT_LEN is 64-bytes.

Note, that the existing users have not been modified to migrate to
'TASK_COMM_EXT_LEN', in case they have hard-coded expectations of
dealing with only a 'TASK_COMM_LEN' long 'tsk->comm'.
