Subject: utsname.h: make new_utsname fields use the proper length constant
From: Dan Smith <danms@xxxxxxxxxx>
The members of the new_utsname structure are defined with magic numbers
that *should* correspond to the constant __NEW_UTS_LEN+1. Everywhere
else, code assumes this and uses the constant, so this patch makes the
structure match.
