btrfs: Notify udev when removing device
Currently udev does not know about the device being removed from the file system. This may result in the situation where we're unable to mount the file system by UUID or by LABEL because the by-uuid and by-label links may still point to the device which is no longer part of the btrfs file system and hence does not have any btrfs super block. It can be easily reproduced by the following: mkfs.btrfs -L bugfs /dev/loop[0-6] mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/test btrfs device delete /dev/loop0 /mnt/test umount /mnt/test mount LABEL=bugfs /mnt/test <---- this fails then see: ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/bugfs which will still point to the /dev/loop0 We did not noticed this before because libblkid would send the udev event for us when it notice that the link does not fit the reality, however it does not do that anymore and completely relies on udev information. Fix this by sending the KOBJ_CHANGE event to the bdev kobject after successful device removal. Note that this does not affect device addition, because we will open the device prior the addition from userspace and udev will notice that and reread the device afterwards.
