[LTP] [PATCH v2] sysctl01: fix fails on live-patched kernels

During live-patching, the uname syscall is overridden to reflect the
fact that the kernel has been live-patched. The version string
obtainable through /proc/sys/kernel/version is defined during
compilation and it is not touched by the live-patch. In this case, the
two interfaces can report different kernel versions.
Adjust the string from uname in such cases and remove the tag added
during live-patching.
