When the devtmpfs fails to mount, a dangling pointer still remains in
global. Specifically, the err variable is passed by a pointer to the
devtmpfsd. When the devtmpfsd exits, it sets the error and completes the
setup_done. In this situation, the thread pointer is not set to null.
After the devtmpfsd exited, the devtmpfs can wakes up the destroyed
devtmpfsd thread by wake_up_process if a device change event comes.
