tracing: protect reader of cmdline output
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.
