[PATCH] perf: fix uninitialized variable in thread__set_comm()

[Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>]

In thread__set_comm(), a command string could be freed and then
reused to point to a new command. Yet, the length was never reset
nor recomputed. This could lead to bogus column formatting.

This patch below fixes the problem by having thread__set_comm()
immediately compute the string length in thread->comm_len. It
gets rid of thread__comm_len() which is not needed anymore.
It was doing the lazy eval of strlen() which could cause the
issue.
