[PATCH v2 03/12] virtio-blk: Generate uevent after attribute available

[Fam Zheng]

Userspace listens to the KOBJ_ADD uevent generated in add_disk. At that
point we haven't created the serial attribute file, therefore depending
on how fast udev reacts, the /dev/disk/by-id/ entry doesn't always get
created.

This race condition can be easily reproduced by hot plugging a number of
virtio-blk disks.

Also in systemd, there used to be a related workaround in udev rules
called 'WAIT_FOR="serial"', but it is removed in later versions.

Now let's generate a KOBJ_CHANGE event after the attributes are ready.
