[git commit] mdev: re-initialize if uevent messages were lost

[Denys Vlasenko]

commit: https://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=d560030548cb237f9ef09a82fd6f372836655306
branch: https://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

If the netlink read() failed with ENOBUFS we know that we have missed at
least one message due to a socket receive buffer overrun. The only way
how to recover is to drop the old socket, open a fresh one and make a
cold-plug scan of the current system state.
