Previously, the sd_device object was sealed after it was verified. However,
the verifier device_verify() calls device_in_subsystem() which reads the uevent
file if the object is not sealed. Hence, basic information such as
MAJOR=/MINOR=/IFINDEX= and so on were updated by the uevent file,
and the ones passed through netlink were simply discarded.
Seal the device earlier, like we already do in device_clone_with_db().
This ensures all basic information passed through netlink is always honored.
Fixes the following issue:
$ journalctl --no-hostname --file TEST-17-UDEV.journal SEQNUM=2244 DEVNUM=259:1
Oct 12 04:44:22 systemd-udevd[404]: loop1p1: Device is queued (SEQNUM=2244, ACTION=remove)
$ journalctl --no-hostname --file TEST-17-UDEV.journal SEQNUM=2244 DEVNUM=259:2
Oct 12 04:44:22 (udev-worker)[2593]: loop1p1: Processing device (SEQNUM=2244, ACTION=remove)
Oct 12 04:44:22 (udev-worker)[2593]: Notify message sent to '@4814750286313953891': "INOTIFY_WATCH_REMOVE=1"
Oct 12 04:44:22 (udev-worker)[2593]: loop1p1: Device processed (SEQNUM=2244, ACTION=remove)
Oct 12 04:44:22 (udev-worker)[2593]: loop1p1: sd-device-monitor(worker): Passed 325 byte to netlink monitor.
Oct 12 04:44:22 (udev-worker)[2593]: Notify message sent to '@4814750286313953891': "PROCESSED=1"
Here, the main process of udevd receives the uevent with SEQNUM=2244 with
MAJOR=259 and MINOR=1. However, when it is forwarded to the udev worker,
MINOR= is changed to 2. Hence, the worker tries to read a wrong
non-existent database file and cannot remove stale devlinks.
Fixes a regression in ab1bd9daed.
