[PATCH -mm 1/5] elfcore: replace old hard-code 16 with TASK_COMM_LEN_16

From: Yafang Shao
Date: Sat Dec 04 2021 - 04:53:24 EST


A new macro TASK_COMM_LEN_16 is introduced for the old hard-coded 16 to
make it more grepable. As explained above this marco, the difference
between TASK_COMM_LEN and TASK_COMM_LEN_16 is that TASK_COMM_LEN_16 must
be a fixed size 16 and can't be changed.
