che: Factory sometimes doesn't create workspace

Describe the bug

From time to time, a workspace that should be created and started via factory URL is not even created. The UI is stuck on the first step and no error is shown to the user. This problem was reproduced manually and was also caught by nightly tests against nightly Che build.

Che version

• latest
• nightly
• other: please specify

Steps to reproduce

1. Login to che
2. Past factory link to the URL: <che_url>/f?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eclipse/che-devfile-registry/master/devfiles/java-maven/devfile.yaml
3. Wait for factory page to be loaded.

Expected behavior

The workspace should be created and started or some error should be shown to the user.
