-Work around LVM/cryptsetup errors like:
-
-  semid 32768: semop failed for cookie 0xd4d41f4: incorrect semaphore state
-  Failed to set a proper state for notification semaphore identified by cookie value 223166964 (0xd4d41f4) to initialize waiting for incoming notifications.
-
-and (when running "cryptsetup --debug"):
-
-  Uevent not generated! Calling udev_complete internally to avoid process lock-up.
-
-Here for some reason libdm *thinks* that the uevent hasn't been
-emitted, so it calls udev_complete.  But the uevent actually *has*
-been emitted, so udev calls ‘dmsetup udevcomplete’ as well, leading to
-a race.
-
-This is probably a reoccurence of the problem described here:
-
-  http://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2011-August/msg00075.html
-  http://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2011-September/msg00023.html
-
-which was fixed in the kernel, so it's not clear why it's surfacing
-again.  Maybe netlink_broadcast_filtered() has started returning some
-other bogus error code.
