udevd: implement a more efficient queue file format
Directory lookups show up in profiling. The queue files are responsible
for a large proportion of file-related system calls in udev coldplug.
Instead of creating a file for each event, append their details to a
log file. The file is periodically rebuilt (garbage-collected) to
prevent it from growing indefinitely.
This single queue file replaces both the queue directory and the
uevent_seqnum file. On desktop systems the file tends not to grow
beyond one page. So it should also save a small amount of memory in
tmpfs.
Tests on a running EeePC indicate average savings of 5% *udevd* cpu time
as measured by oprofile. __link_path_walk is reduced from 1.5% to
1.3%. It is not completely clear where the rest of the gains come from.
In tests running ~400 events, the queue file is rebuilt about 5 times.
