Joe, why are you shortening this? kobject_uevent_env() expect a
NULL-terminating array (that is the forth cell).

And how is this change reducing the code space?

For what concerns the labels, we use this pattern mostly all over the
code: one single label/exit-point with the related NULL checks. Do you
think that we can improve something by changing this? (I am not talking
about the fastpath here).
