fs/exec: replace strlcpy with strscpy_pad in __set_task_comm

Patch series "task comm cleanups", v2.

This patchset is part of the patchset "extend task comm from 16 to
24"[1].  Now we have different opinion that dynamically allocates memory
to store kthread's long name into a separate pointer, so I decide to
take the useful cleanups apart from the original patchset and send it
separately[2].

These useful cleanups can make the usage around task comm less
error-prone.  Furthermore, it will be useful if we want to extend task
comm in the future.

This patch (of 7):

strlcpy() can trigger out-of-bound reads on the source string[1], we'd
better use strscpy() instead.  To make it be robust against full tsk->comm
copies that got noticed in other places, we should make sure it's zero
padded.
