With the above change, container devices use the common notify handler,
which logs the warning message in question when it receives device check
twice on a same device.  Before the change, the container-specific
notify handler did not log this message in the same case (but considered
it as an eject request).

So, I suspect that you are getting device check twice regardless of the
kernel change.  Can you check KERN_DEBUG messages to see if that is the
case?  The notify handler logs all events with KERN_DEBUG.
