I asked for advice how to proceed when I gave an advanced warning I ran
into the problem of module compilation using get_task_comm(), the
preferred way of implementing this feature.  Based on the feedback I got,
this is the change I made.  It's the same code, it's just encapsulated
within the driver, so it's unobtrusive to the rest of the kernel and
upstream drivers who access the global variable their own way.
