This is the core patch for this whole patchset. Add support for including the current task's name in netconsole's extra data output. This adds a new append_taskname() function that writes the task name (from current->comm) into the target's extradata buffer, similar to how CPU numbers are handled.
The task name is included when the SYSDATA_TASKNAME field is set, appearing in the format "taskname=<name>" in the output. This additional context can help with debugging by showing which task generated each console message.
