I need it in DRM when creating the done thread from the name
of the main scheduler thread. Since DRM creates threads,
the main scheduler thread and the done thread, it would
be good to have a preliminary limit to the name string.

If you trace down into the kernel, TASK_COMM_LEN seems to be used in
snprintf() when naming a kernel thread, and its value is 16--same
as the one used in amdgpu.

So the size of the name string transitions from amdgpu to DRM to kernel
proper, where amdgpu and kernel proper set it to max 16, but DRM doesn't
give it a limit.

Sure, I can remove it from DRM, and just use a local limit
when snprintf() the name when creating a tread, possibly
using TASK_COMM_LEN. (That's in the next patch.)

Would that be better? I can do that in v2 of this patchset.

Thanks,
Luben
