[PATCH v2] mdev: Send uevents around parent device registration

From: Alex Williamson
Date: Mon Jul 01 2019 - 10:54:50 EST


This allows udev to trigger rules when a parent device is registered
or unregistered from mdev.

v2: Don't remove the dev_info(), Kirti requested they stay and
removing them is only tangential to the goal of this change.
