fs/binfmt_elf: replace open-coded string copy with get_task_comm
It is better to use get_task_comm() instead of the open coded string copy as we do in other places. struct elf_prpsinfo is used to dump the task information in userspace coredump or kernel vmcore. Below is the verification of vmcore, crash> ps PID PPID CPU TASK ST %MEM VSZ RSS COMM 0 0 0 ffffffff9d21a940 RU 0.0 0 0 [swapper/0] > 0 0 1 ffffa09e40f85e80 RU 0.0 0 0 [swapper/1] > 0 0 2 ffffa09e40f81f80 RU 0.0 0 0 [swapper/2] > 0 0 3 ffffa09e40f83f00 RU 0.0 0 0 [swapper/3] > 0 0 4 ffffa09e40f80000 RU 0.0 0 0 [swapper/4] > 0 0 5 ffffa09e40f89f80 RU 0.0 0 0 [swapper/5] 0 0 6 ffffa09e40f8bf00 RU 0.0 0 0 [swapper/6] > 0 0 7 ffffa09e40f88000 RU 0.0 0 0 [swapper/7] > 0 0 8 ffffa09e40f8de80 RU 0.0 0 0 [swapper/8] > 0 0 9 ffffa09e40f95e80 RU 0.0 0 0 [swapper/9] > 0 0 10 ffffa09e40f91f80 RU 0.0 0 0 [swapper/10] > 0 0 11 ffffa09e40f93f00 RU 0.0 0 0 [swapper/11] > 0 0 12 ffffa09e40f90000 RU 0.0 0 0 [swapper/12] > 0 0 13 ffffa09e40f9bf00 RU 0.0 0 0 [swapper/13] > 0 0 14 ffffa09e40f98000 RU 0.0 0 0 [swapper/14] > 0 0 15 ffffa09e40f9de80 RU 0.0 0 0 [swapper/15] It works well as expected. Some comments are added to explain why we use the hard-coded 16.
