Good idea, but the code needs to unregister the uevent fd on error.
Also, fix spelling error, decode error message, and handle odd
case where recv() got interrupted.
Something like (untested):

The Linux uevent handler is harded for non-blocking receive behavior
and transient ENOBUF issue during hot plug/unplug testing with MANA.

v2:
Addressed review comments regarding spelling and missing code comments.
Limited the transient memory issue to just ENOBUF which was the only
original error observed.
