David Rientjes 830e0fc967 fs, proc: truncate /proc/pid/comm writes to first TASK_COMM_LEN bytes 
Currently, a write to a procfs file will return the number of bytes
successfully written.  If the actual string is longer than this, the
remainder of the string will not be be written and userspace will
complete the operation by issuing additional write()s.

Hence

	$ echo -n "abcdefghijklmnopqrs" > /proc/self/comm

results in

	$ cat /proc/$$/comm
	pqrs

since the final four bytes were written with a second write() since
TASK_COMM_LEN == 16.  This is obviously an undesired result and not
equivalent to prctl(PR_SET_NAME).  The implementation should not need to
know the definition of TASK_COMM_LEN.

This patch truncates the string to the first TASK_COMM_LEN bytes and
returns the bytes written as the length of the string written so the
second write() is suppressed.

	$ cat /proc/$$/comm
	abcdefghijklmno
