Since the task->comm is guaranteed to be NUL-ternimated, we can print it
directly. Add a new vsnprintf format specifier "%pTN" to print task comm,
where 'p' represents the task Pointer, 'T' stands for Task, and 'N' denots
Name. With this abstraction, the user no longer needs to care about
retrieving task name.

checkpatch.pl is updated accordingly.
