SubjectTASK_COMM_LEN>16 leads to boot crashes

Attempting to bump TASK_COMM_LEN above 16 still crashes the box on
bootup despite the patch below.

commit 1445ffe96a82db8cced73b27f41162d4c9086354
Author: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>
Date: Sat Jan 21 16:57:47 2012 +0100

kernel: fix memory scribble when TASK_COMM_LEN > 16

When bumping TASK_COMM_LEN to something larger than 16, various parts
of the system start to scribble beyond boundaries when they attempt
strncpy/memcpy(toosmall, task->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN) or similar.
hrtimer is the first thing that crashes the system after bootup.
cn_proc for example has [16] hardcoded in what seems to be a binary
protocol, so in this patch, size limiting is added when doing these
copy operations.
