    tracing: Don't make assumptions about length of string on task rename
    
    While the dest comm string size is assured to be at least TASK_COMM_LEN long,
    doing a memcpy() also adds the assumption that the source is at least that
    long as well, which isn't assured, and isn't true in cases such as:
    
    	set_task_comm(worker->task, "kworker/dying");
    
    This leads to accessing invalid memory.
