tracing: add saved_cmdlines file to show cached task comms
Export the cached task comms to userspace. This allows user apps to translate the pids from a trace into their respective task command lines. [ Impact: let userspace apps reading binary buffer know comm's of pids ] Signed-off-by: Avadh Patel <avadh4all@gmail.com> [ added error checking and use of buf pointer to index file_buf ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
