mm, oom: remove task_lock protecting comm printing

Browse Source 
The oom killer takes task_lock() in a couple of places solely to protect
printing the task's comm.

A process's comm, including current's comm, may change due to
/proc/pid/comm or PR_SET_NAME.

The comm will always be NULL-terminated, so the worst race scenario would
only be during update.  We can tolerate a comm being printed that is in
the middle of an update to avoid taking the lock.

Other locations in the kernel have already dropped task_lock() when
printing comm, so this is consistent.
