noflushd opens the block device for writing, and this makes the kernel
generate a change uevent for it:

        fd = open(name, O_WRONLY);

noflushd must stop opening block devices for writing.

This way you probably broke your system. Please do not ever report again
any udev bugs unless you will have reinstalled it.
