Sure, I'll look into this when I remove the udev trigger filter code
again which resulted in this series. But let's get this series sorted
out first.

Yep, let's get the bug fix in first.

Ineed, makes the test way smaller.

BTW, what do you think about removing nvme/006 and nvme/007? They are
basically doing nothing anymore except setting up a target with either
device or file backing. We exercise this code now in all the other
tests. So this is bit redundant IMO.

I've updated the series accordingly. Let me run a quick test and then I
post the update.
