When building image encounter insufficient memory, we got "can't allocate memory" error from hob, then close the popup it return to main menu, select MACHINE=qemuarm, after parsing i got "Nothing PROVIDERS syslinux" error as attachment, because we don't handle the status of hob when meet out of memory exception.

Hongna's machine doesn't have swap partition, and she is running ADT testing and Hob testing at the same time, so her machine runs out of memory.

When Hob is doing build and exception happens, only "command failed" event comes, "build failed" event doesn't come. One of the Hob flag self.building is not cleared. So, the internal state is not correct.
