Now what is happening is that prop is being reloaded
each invocation with the constant addresses of the strings.

It seems the prototype and function for kobject_uevent_env
should change as well to avoid this.

Perhaps this should become:

No objection from me, care to make it a real patch so that I can apply
it after 4.18-rc1 is out?
