Version from uname and /proc/sys/kernel/version does not match on
live-patched kernels (bsc#1100130, poo#38483).

Adjust the string from uname in such cases.

Hi!

As far as I can tell the bug and progress issue are not accessible to
public, there is no point in including them in the commit message.

It would be better to describe here what causes the difference and how
the difference looks like.

This is not generally safe, the parameters passed to strcpy() must not
overlap. I guess that the safe option would be copying the content into
a new buffer.

That is a good point, I thought the bug on bugzilla is public (but
apparently it is not).

Oh, my fault. I changed that from memmove and did not realize this
consequence. I will refactor this part.
