The comm overriding API ignores memory allocation failures by silently
keeping the previous and out of date comm.
As a result, the user may get buggy events without ever being notified
about the problem and its source.
Lets start to fix this by propagating the error from the API. Not all
callers may be doing proper error handling on comm set yet but this is
the first step toward it.

Several areas already used this technique, so do some audit to
consistently use it elsewhere.

At insert time, a hist entry should reference comm at the time otherwise
it'll get the last comm anyway.

[ Fixed up const pointer issues ]

This new COMM infrastructure provides two features:
1) It keeps track of all comms lifecycle for a given thread. This way we
can associate a timeframe to any thread COMM, as long as
PERF_SAMPLE_TIME samples are joined to COMM and fork events.
As a result we should have more precise COMM sorted hists with seperated
entries for pre and post exec time after a fork.
2) It also makes sure that a given COMM string is not duplicated but
rather shared among the threads that refer to it. This way the threads
COMM can be compared against pointer values from the sort
infrastructure.
