kernel test robot reported a -Wstringop-truncation warning after I
extend task comm from 16 to 24. Below is the detailed warning:

   fs/binfmt_elf.c: In function 'fill_psinfo.isra':
>> fs/binfmt_elf.c:1575:9: warning: 'strncpy' output may be truncated copying 16 bytes from a string of length 23 [-Wstringop-truncation]
    1575 |         strncpy(psinfo->pr_fname, p->comm, sizeof(psinfo->pr_fname));
         |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Replacing the open-coded strncpy() with the helper get_task_comm() can
avoid this warning.

As the struct prpsinfo is externally parsed, for example by the crash
utility, we can't change the size of pr_fname. So I just leave it as-is.

I also verfied if it still work well when I extend the comm size to 24.
struct elf_prpsinfo is used to dump the task information in userspace
coredump or kernel vmcore. Below is the verfication of vmcore,

It works well as expected.
