devcoredump: Send uevent once devcd is ready
commit af54d778 upstream. dev_coredumpm() creates a devcoredump device and adds it to the core kernel framework which eventually end up sending uevent to the user space and later creates a symbolic link to the failed device. An application running in userspace may be interested in this symbolic link to get the name of the failed device. In a issue scenario, once uevent sent to the user space it start reading '/sys/class/devcoredump/devcdX/failing_device' to get the actual name of the device which might not been created and it is in its path of creation. To fix this, suppress sending uevent till the failing device symbolic link gets created and send uevent once symbolic link is created successfully.
