It is a chicken-and-egg problem. Not sure how to solve it. The Linux kernel doesn't provide the symbol 'init_ns_ns.name' as i initially thought and ,therefore, i based my patch on a wrong assumption. It would be nice if kernel just provided a symbol for 'init_uts_ns.name' instead of 'init_uts_ns' which might change anytime.
