Log message:
	Set DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG for suspended DM devices in udev rules.
	
	This is to avoid any scanning and processing of DM devices while they are in
	suspended state (e.g. a rename while the device is suspended - a CHANGE event
	is generated!). Otherwise, any scanning in the rules could end up with locking
	the calling process until the device is resumed and so we don't receive a
	notification about udev rules completion until then (and that effectively
	locks out the process awaiting the notification!).
	
	However, we still keep 'disk' and any 'subsystem' related udev rules running.
	We trust these and these should check themselves whether a device is suspended
	or not, not trying to run any scanning if it is.
