DM_UDEV_DISABLE_LIBRARY_FALLBACK is disabled by most applications today
when using device-mapper, and ensuring that device-mapper is in sync
with udev. This flag instructs devicemapper to not fallback to creating
the device nodes itself. In the case of udev sync not being supported,
devicemapper will attempt to create the devices in a timely manner,
regardless of udev.

Currently devicemapper CreateDevice and CreateSnapDevice keep on retrying
device creation till a suitable device id is found.
With new transaction mechanism we need to store device id in transaction
before it has been created.
So change the logic in such a way that caller decides the devices Id to
use. If that device Id is not available, caller bumps up the device Id
and retries.
That way caller can update transaciton too when it tries a new Id. Transaction
related patches will come later in the series.

Currently we set up a cookie and upon failure not call UdevWait(). This
does not cleanup the cookie and associated semaphore and system will
soon max out on total number of semaphores.
To avoid this, call UdevWait() even in failure path which in turn will
cleanup associated semaphore.

Otherwise udev can unecessarily execute various rules (and issue
scanning IO, etc) against the thin-pool -- which can never be a
top-level device.
