Fix to make the type of $comm "string". If we set the other type to $comm
argument, it shows meaningless value or wrong data. Currently probe events
allow us to set string array type (e.g. ":string[2]"), or other digit types
like x8 on $comm. But since clearly $comm is just a string data, it should
not be fetched by other types including array.

I thought the "AUTOSEL" patches are to find patches that are not marked
for stable and pull them in. It would be good to differentiate those in
the subject. As I'm more inclined to audit automatically pulled in ones,
because those are more likely to be incorrectly backported.
That's indeed the case. I had some experimental changes for this merge
window and apparently some stable tagged patches ended up sneaking in.
Sorry about that!.
