Martin Wilck 20415d357f 99-systemd.rules: rework SYSTEMD_READY logic for device mapper

Device mapper devices are set up in multiple steps. The first step, which
generates the initial "add" event, only creates an empty container, which is
useless for higher layers. SYSTEMD_READY should be set to 0 on this event to
avoid premature device activation.

The event that matters is the "activation" event: the first "change" event on
which DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG=1 is not set. When this event arrives,
the device is ready for being scanned by blkid and similar tools, and for being
activated by systemd.

Intermittent events with DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG=1 should be ignored
as far as systemd or higher-level block layers are concerned. Previous device
properties and symlinks should be preserved: the device shouldn't be scanned or
activated, but shouldn't be deactivated, either. In particular, SYSTEM_READY
shouldn't be set to 0 if it wasn't set before, because that might cause mounted
file systems to be unmounted. Such intermittent events may occur any time,
before or after the "activation" event.

DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG=1 can have multiple reasons. One possible reason
is that the device is suspended. There are other reasons that depend on the
device-mapper subsystem (LVM, multipath, dm-crypt, etc.).

The current systemd rule set

1) sets SYSTEMD_READY=0 if DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG is set in "add"
events;
2) imports SYSTEMD_READY from the udev db if DM_SUSPENDED is set, and jumps to systemd_end;
3) sets SYSTEMD_READY=1, otherwise.

This logic has several flaws:

* 1) can cause file systems to be unmounted if an coldplug event arrives while
a file system is suspended. This rule shouldn't be applied for coldplug events
or in general, "synthetic" add events;
* 2) evaluates DM_SUSPENDED=1, which is a device-mapper internal property.
It's wrong to infer that a device is accessible if DM_SUSPENDED=0.
The jump to systemd_end may cause properties and/or symlinks to be lost;
* 3) is superfluous, because SYSTEMD_READY=1 is equivalent with SYSTEMD_READY
being unset, and can create the wrong impression that the device was explicitly
activated.

This patch fixes the logic as follows:

- apply 1) only if DM_NAME is empty, which is only the case for the first
"genuine add" event;
- change 2) to use DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG instead of DM_SUSPENDED,
and remove the GOTO directive;
- remove 3).

Fixes: 35a6750 ("rules: set SYSTEMD_READY=0 on DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG=1 only with ADD event (#2747)")
