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.

Signed-off-by: Alexander Egorenkov <egorenar@linux.ibm.com>

v2 -> v3:
 * Added documentation to vmcoreinfo.rst
 * Use the short form of the commit reference

v1 -> v2:
 * Improved commit message
 * Added link to the discussion of the uts namespace changes
