I think you can get it from init_uts_ns.name,
where 'name' is struct new_utsname.

   init/version.c:
   struct uts_namespace init_uts_ns = {
         .kref = {
                 .refcount       = ATOMIC_INIT(2),
         },
         .name = {
                 .sysname        = UTS_SYSNAME,
                 .nodename       = UTS_NODENAME,
                 .release        = UTS_RELEASE,
                 .version        = UTS_VERSION,
                 .machine        = UTS_MACHINE,
                 .domainname     = UTS_DOMAINNAME,
         },
   };
