It is better to use get_task_comm() instead of the open coded string
copy as we do in other places.
struct elf_prpsinfo is used to dump the task information in userspace
coredump or kernel vmcore. Below is the verification of vmcore,

It works well as expected.
Some comments are added to explain why we use the hard-coded 16.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
