driver core: suppress sending MODALIAS in UNBIND uevents
The current udev rules cause modules to be loaded on all device events save for "remove". With the introduction of KOBJ_BIND/KOBJ_UNBIND this causes issues, as driver modules that have devices bound to their drivers get immediately reloaded, and it appears to the user that module unloading doe snot work. The standard udev matching rule is foillowing: ENV{MODALIAS}=="?*", RUN{builtin}+="kmod load $env{MODALIAS}" Given that MODALIAS data is not terribly useful for UNBIND event, let's zap it from the generated uevent environment until we get userspace updated with the correct udev rule that only loads modules on "add" event.
