mdmon: periodically retry to create the socket

If initial socket creation fails, EROFS, set a periodic alarm to wake up
the manager and retry.  Include a kernel patch that will wake us up if
the mount flags are changed.

+touch_mnt_namespace when the mount flags change
+
+From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
+
+Daemons that need to be launched while the rootfs is read-only can now
+poll /proc/mounts to be notified when their O_RDWR requests may no
+longer end in EROFS.
