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.
