By the previous commit, it is not necessary to distinguish if the devlink already exists. Also, I cannot find any significant advantages of the previous complecated logic, that is, first try to create directly, and then fallback to atomically creation. Moreover, such logic increases the chance of conflicts between multiple udev workers. This makes devlinks always created atomically. Hopefully, this reduces the conflicts between the workers.
