Inotify seems to fall-back to watch the entire directory if the file that was
watched is deleted. Such case is not handled by udev, and all access to any
file in /dev was waking up udev.
The empty file just caused a warning, which lead udev to access /dev/console,
and it ended up in a loop. This empty file existed for a looong time, it just
became a bug since device-mapper recently started to delete nodes which it
shouldn't.
