    Subject[PATCH 3/3] checkpatch.pl: Add check for task comm references
    Date
    Now that accessing current->comm needs to be protected,
    avoid new current->comm or other task->comm usage by adding
    a warning to checkpatch.pl.

    Fair warning: I know zero perl, so this was written in the
    style of "monkey see, monkey do". It does appear to work
    in my testing though.

    Thanks to Jiri Slaby, Michal Nazarewicz and Joe Perches
    for help improving the regex!

    Close review and feedback would be appreciated.
