While comm change event via prctl has been reported to proc connector by
'commit f786ecba4158 ("connector: add comm change event report to proc
connector")', connector listeners were missing comm changes by explicit
writes on /proc/[pid]/comm.

Let explicit writes on /proc/[pid]/comm report to proc connector.

This is a potential userspace ABI breakage?  Why backport it?

Especially if there is no one asking for the behavior change in
userspace?

This sounds like a concern with the patch going upstream rather than
going to stable? stable has the same policy around ABI changes such as
upstream.
