Given that UI_GET_SYSNAME is a macro we can do as well:

#ifndef UI_GET_SYSNAME
# define UI_GET_SYSNAME(len) ...
#endif

However at the same time we would need to actually check if the ioctl is
supported or not, because if the CentOS 7 kernel does not support
UI_GET_SYSNAME ioctl() the SAFE_IOCTL() will fail with EINVAL.

Also looking at the linux/uinput.h there are three more ioctls() added
in version 5 that should be tested as well. I suppose that we will need
add an issue for that.
