Commit f786ecba41588 ("connector: add comm change event report to proc
connector") added proc_comm_connector to report comm change event, and
prctl will report comm change event when dealing with PR_SET_NAME case.
prctl can only set the name of the calling thread. In order to set the name
of other threads in a process, modifying /proc/self/task/tid/comm is a
general way.It's exactly how pthread_setname_np do to set name of a thread.
It's unable to get comm change event of thread if the name of thread is set
by other thread via pthread_setname_np. This update provides a chance for
application to monitor and control threads whose name is set by other
threads.
