sched.h: extend task comm from 16 to 24 for CONFIG_BASE_FULL
When I was implementing a new per-cpu kthread cfs_migration, I found the comm of it "cfs_migration/%u" is truncated due to the limitation of TASK_COMM_LEN. For example, the comm of the percpu thread on CPU10~19 are all with the same name "cfs_migration/1", which will confuse the user. This issue is not critical, because we can get the corresponding CPU from the task's Cpus_allowed. But for kthreads correspoinding to other hardware devices, it is not easy to get the detailed device info from task comm, for example, jbd2/nvme0n1p2- xfs-reclaim/sdf We can also shorten the name to work around this problem, but I find there are so many truncated kthreads: rcu_tasks_kthre rcu_tasks_rude_ rcu_tasks_trace poll_mpt3sas0_s ext4-rsv-conver xfs-reclaim/sd{a, b, c, ...} xfs-blockgc/sd{a, b, c, ...} xfs-inodegc/sd{a, b, c, ...} audit_send_repl ecryptfs-kthrea vfio-irqfd-clea jbd2/nvme0n1p2- ... We should improve this problem fundamentally. This patch extends the size of task comm to 24 bytes, which is the same length with workqueue's, for the CONFIG_BASE_FULL case. And for the CONFIG_BASE_SMALL case, the size of task comm is still kept as 16 bytes.
