[lvm-devel][PATCH 2/4] Udev integration: add semaphore IPC to wait for udev rule completion

This patch adds simple IPC support (using semaphores) to set a
communication channel between a udev rule and the process that
waits for its completion.

We generate random unsigned 32 bit variable (cookie) which we
use to identify the semaphore. When dealing with DM trees, we
don't have to set a new IPC, we just reuse the existing one,
increasing the semaphore's value. Each udev's rule completion
is notified by decreasing this value. So we're waiting on zero
in the process that fired off the actions.
