tracing: probeevent: Fix to make the type of $comm string
commit 3dd1f7f24f8ceec00bbbc364c2ac3c893f0fdc4c upstream. Fix to make the type of $comm "string". If we set the other type to $comm argument, it shows meaningless value or wrong data. Currently probe events allow us to set string array type (e.g. ":string[2]"), or other digit types like x8 on $comm. But since clearly $comm is just a string data, it should not be fetched by other types including array.
