[PATCH] node_device: Use "udev" monitor source

[Michal Privoznik]

In v6.3.0-rc1~67 I've made a switch: instead of listening on udev
events the nodedev driver started listening for kernel events.
This was because when a device changes its name (e.g. NICs) we
will get "move" event with DEVPATH_OLD property set, which we can
then use to remove the old device and thus keep our internal list
up to date. The switch to "kernel" source was made because if the
old NICs naming (eth0, eth1, ...) is enabled (e.g. via
net.ifnames=0 on the kernel cmd line) then udev overwrites the
property with the new name making our internal list go out of
sync. Interestingly, when the od NICs naming is not enabled then
the DEVPATH_OLD contains the correct value.

But as it turns out, "kernel" source might be missing some other
important properties, e.g. USB vendor/product IDs. Therefore,
switch back to "udev" source and wish the best of luck to users
using the old NICs naming.
