uevent: send events in correct order according to seqnum (v3)
The queue handling in the udev daemon assumes that the events are
ordered.
Before this patch uevent_seqnum is incremented under sequence_lock,
than an event is send uner uevent_sock_mutex. I want to say that code
contained a window between incrementing seqnum and sending an event.
This patch locks uevent_sock_mutex before incrementing uevent_seqnum.
v2: delete sequence_lock, uevent_seqnum is protected by uevent_sock_mutex
v3: unlock the mutex before the goto exit
Thanks for Kay for the comments.
