Fix kobject uevent string handling errors
- increment env->buflen in dmi-id.c
- fix off-by-one in add_uevent_var in error checking of vsnprintf
- add warnings when add_uevent_var. Proper handling of its return values should
really be done by the callers, but they aren't, so things currently
fail silently. This is why I add warnings.
Fixes the following BUG in 2.6.23-rc3-mm1:
