Nothing much.  It's just that all these callsites are generating the
code to pass an argument which the callee already has access to. 
Optimizing that will reduce text size a bit.

There's also the matter of providing a standard and abstracted way of
representing a task, instead of directly accessing its ->comm.  But
that's a separate thing from new printk tokens.
