^This comment should come after the unlock, so it's 100% clear it's linked to
the udevEnumerateDevices call.

The patch is straightforward, if there is a spot where you forgot to handle the
locks in a similar manner and I missed it, either I will hit it with my
follow-up "mdev nodedev-list kernel race" series or someone else eventually
will :).

ACK to 1,2 and this one, I had some comments to 3, but ACK'd it in principle.
