[PATCH] kobject: return -ENOSPC when add_uevent_var() fails

[Masahiro Yamada]

This function never attempts to allocate memory, so returning -ENOMEM
looks weird to me. The reason of the failure is there is no more space
in the given kobj_uevent_env structure.

No caller of this function relies on this functing returning a specific
error code, so just change it to return -ENOSPC. The intended change,
if any, is the error number displayed in log messages.
