PATCH v2 1/1 multipath: rely on udev device creation for kpartx and multipathd

Since kpartx and multipathd don't wait on udev creating the device, there was a race between libdevmapper and udev to create the device. This meant that sometimes the /dev/mapper/ devices were devnodes, and sometimes they were symlinks. Now, for multipathd and kpartx called without -s, libdevmapper won't create the device nodes, so that udev will always be responsible for it.
