kobject_uevent_env() can fail for a few reasons, most commonly it can fail for
when we're out of memory. I've seen quite a bit of use cases these days where
tons of remounts can happen, one example is actually is when there is not
enough space dockers instances can get restarted. There are many reasons for
restarts of docker instance, but as stupid as it is, since -ENOMEM could
actually be common, I think we should consider treating it as fatal and not
mount. Otherwise the assumption that userspace will configure the filesystem
correctly may be false.
Note that kobject_uevent_env() can also fail during
netlink_broadcast_filtered(), so perhaps we should consider all errors well
here.
