* d/p/lp1861941-dont-generate-disk-byuuid-for-bcache-uuid.patch:
Reworded and reintroduced patch to fully explain delta is NOT a fix to
LP: #1861941 if the bcache-tools patch exists, but should be kept anyway
as the change makes sense for a better experience to end user.

Bug description:
SRU TEAM: The last 2 commits show a summary for the merges/changes
I added some specific (to Bionic) notes in the template.
Thanks!
[Impact]
* bcache-tools udev created symlinks might disappear when other udev
events are processed for the same devices.
* after mkfs.XXX in /dev/bcacheY you might face a condition where
/dev/bcache/by-{uuid,label}/zzz symlinks are gone.
* /dev/bcache/by-{uuid,label}/ symlinks are important so bcache
devices can be addressed by their UUIDs and not the ordering they were
assembled (MAAS depends on this feature, for example).
* it was also discussed in this bug that systemd-udev should *not*
populate /dev/disk/by-uuid/ with symlinks of disks that were bcache
backing devices. this was turned into a discussion whether blkid
should report those or not, and this discussion "died" after sometime.
This last item is what the systemd update is all about: to disallow
/dev/disk/by-XXX/yyyy creation for bcache backing devices (a simple
change that will reduce end users confusion).
[Test Case]
* The reproducer script is here:
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/37KGy2Smnp/
* Bionic can't reproduce the issue with the 18.04 kernel, nor with
the HWE kernel. Nevertheless, it is preferable that Bionic also do the
same thing: to read bcache superblock and feed environment for
/dev/bcache/by-{uuid,label} symlinks creation.
specifically for the verification for systemd, the above script can be
used, and then check that the bcache uuid symlink isn't present at
/dev/disk/by-uuid; for example, after running the above reproducer
script:
root@lp1861941-f:~# ls -l /dev/bcache/by-uuid/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Nov 2 17:16 651c5532-0a15-4d56-acdf-9c8b2bb559f1
-> ../../bcache0
root@lp1861941-f:~# ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/$(ls /dev/bcache/by-uuid/)
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Nov 2 17:16
/dev/disk/by-uuid/651c5532-0a15-4d56-acdf-9c8b2bb559f1 -> ../../vdc
[Regression Potential]
* We are not depending on bcache device udev events any more when
creating the /dev/bcache/by-{uuid,label}/ symlinks. Instead, we are
depending on a wrapper script that heads bcache device superblock. If
there is a bug in this wrapper the symlinks wouldn't work.
* Previously we were thinking in asking the kernel team to remove the
bcache udev event delta script they've done for previous case (LP:
#1729145). It creates the udev events that were being read and filling
the symlinks. We decided not to remove those (just from Groovy and on)
so we don't need to worry on Breaks/Conflicts in between the kernel
package and bcache-tools (and udev)).
* Long story short: kernel will continue to emit bcache udev events
as it did previously but now those events won't be used by anything -
after installing this SRU - because udev wrapper script is doing this
job (and doing it properly)
