Subject: security: remove get_task_comm() and print task comm directly
Date: Thu, 19 Dec 2024 10:34:51 +0800

Since task->comm is guaranteed to be NUL-terminated, we can print it
directly without the need to copy it into a separate buffer.  This
simplifies the code and avoids unnecessary operations.
