thread__set_comm_from_proc() calls procfs__read_str() then strips
the trailing newline via comm[sz - 1] = '\0'. procfs__read_str()
allocates the buffer before reading, so on an empty /proc/pid/comm
(reachable during late exit teardown) it returns success with sz = 0
and an unterminated heap buffer.
The sz - 1 underflow was the original sashiko finding: it writes a
null byte before the allocation. But even with a sz > 0 guard on
the newline strip, the unterminated buffer would still be passed to
thread__set_comm() which calls strlen() — an unbounded heap read.
Fix by treating sz == 0 as failure: free the buffer and return -1.
This is consistent with pmu.c's perf_pmu__parse_scale/unit which
already treat len == 0 from filename__read_str as an error.
