The offset of the field 'init_uts_ns.name' has changed
since commit 9a56493f6942 ("uts: Use generic ns_common::count").
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/159644978167.604812.1773586504374412107.stgit@localhost.localdomain
Make the offset of the field 'uts_namespace.name' available
in VMCOREINFO because tools like 'crash-utility' and
'makedumpfile' must be able to read it from crash dumps.
