[PATCH] tools/mm/page_owner_sort: report get_comm failures at source

[Yichong Chen <chenyichong@uniontech.com>]

get_comm() clears errno and checks it immediately, without any
operation that can set errno in between. The check can never be
true.

Print the concrete get_comm() failure reason where it is detected,
and let callers handle a NULL return without guessing the error
cause.
