mark forked process as such in the kernel p_name

. helps debugging output; you can see the difference
    between parent and child easily (it's sometimes 
    confusing to see an expected endpoint number with
    an unexpected name, i.e. before exec())
  . when processes crash after fork and before exec, it's
    an instant hint that that's what's going on, instead of
    it being the parent (endpoint numbers don't usually convey
    this)
  . name returns to 'normal' after exec(), so *F isn't visible
    normally at all. (Except for for RS which forks apparently.)
