If the dest buffer size is smaller than sizeof(tsk->comm), the buffer
will be without null ternimator, that may cause problem. We can make sure
the buffer size not smaller than comm at the callsite to avoid that
problem, but there may be callsite that we can't easily change.

Using strscpy_pad() instead of strncpy() in __get_task_comm() can make
the string always nul ternimated.
