[BUG]
When test case btrfs/219 (aka, mount a registered device but with a lower
generation) failed, there is not any useful information for the end user
to find out what's going wrong.
The mount failure just looks like this:
# mount -o loop /tmp/219.img2 /mnt/btrfs/
mount: /mnt/btrfs: mount(2) system call failed: File exists.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
While the dmesg contains nothing but the loop device change:
loop1: detected capacity change from 0 to 524288
[CAUSE]
In device_list_add() we have a lot of extra checks to reject invalid
cases.
That function also contains the regular device scan result like the
following prompt:
BTRFS: device fsid 6222333e-f9f1-47e6-b306-55ddd4dcaef4 devid 1 transid 8 /dev/loop0 scanned by systemd-udevd (3027)
But unfortunately not all errors have their own error messages, thus if
we hit something wrong in device_add_list(), there may be no error
messages at all.
[FIX]
Add errors message for all non-ENOMEM errors.
For ENOMEM, I'd say we're in a much worse situation, and there should be
some OOM messages way before our call sites.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
