When an udev event occurs the mdev active config data requires an update via
mdevctl as the udev does not contain all config data. This update needs to occur
immediate and to be finished before the libvirt nodedev event is issued to keep
the API usage reliable.
The only case where a direct `nodeDeviceUpdateMediatedDevices` is not wished is
`mdevctlEventHandleCallback` - see commit 2c57b28191b9 ("nodedev: Refresh mdev
devices when changes are detected") for details, but for this case there are no
nodedev events created so the problem described above does not exist.
`udevAddOneDevice` and `udevRemoveOneDeviceSysPath` are only called by the
worker pool threads therefore it's possible to call the
`nodeDeviceUpdateMediatedDevices` directly without blocking the udev thread.
