[v2,3/3] kthread: Use 'task_struct->full_name' to store kthread's full name

Commit Message

Commit 6986ce24fc00 ("kthread: dynamically allocate memory to store
kthread's full name"), added 'full_name' in parallel to 'comm' for
kthread names.

Now that we have added 'full_name' added to 'task_struct' itself,
drop the additional 'full_name' entry from 'struct kthread' and also
its usage.
