From: Luca Boccassi <luca.boccassi at gmail.com>

Verify that the new LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_GET_NAME ioctl works
as expected via new test cases in the existing liveupdate selftest.

Signed-off-by: Luca Boccassi <luca.boccassi at gmail.com>

v5: merge with LUO_SESSION_MAGIC series as they both change the same
    unit test file, to avoid merge conflicts
    split into separate patch
v6: add more test cases as suggested
    more verbose commit message
