ps -p comm and zombies

Hi,
  I'm looking into bug
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1025790

The issue is that older versions of ps used to show <defunct> for the comm
field but only the cmd field does it. That's because the escape_string in
ps/output.c doesn't add that, but the
older escape_command in proc/escape.c did.

The change was at
https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/commit/584028dbe513127ef68c55aa631480454bcc26bf
and is 7 years ago.  I cannot remember if this was intentional or not or if
so why.

I'd probably add it back to the ps command but not sure if it is needed.

 - Craig
