    Impact: fix to one cause of incorrect comm outputs in trace
    
    The spinlock only protected the creation of a comm <=> pid pair.
    But it was possible that a reader could look up a pid, and get the
    wrong comm because it had no locking.
    
    This also required changing trace_find_cmdline to copy the comm cache
    and not just send back a pointer to it.
