  lkdtm: Use init_uts_ns.name instead of macros (2021-09-10 17:09:40 +0200)

Misc driver fix for 5.15-rc1

Here is a single patch for 5.15-rc1, for the lkdtm misc driver.

It resolves a build issue that many people were hitting with your
current tree, and Kees and others felt would be good to get merged
before -rc1 comes out, to prevent them from having to constantly hit it
as many development trees restart on -rc1, not older -rc releases.

It has NOT been in linux-next, but has passed 0-day testing and looks
"obviously correct" when reviewing it locally :)
