[PATCH 26/28] Driver core: allow to delay the uevent at device creation time

[Greg KH <greg@kroah.com>]

From: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@novell.com>

For the block subsystem, we want to delay all uevents until the
disk has been scanned and allpartitons are already created before
the first event is sent out.
