I'm not sure how I feel about this commit existing on its own.
uevent_filter() can leak memory if it deletes a uevent that already has
merged uevents. I see that you fixed this in your next patch. The
question is, does the reviewing simplification from splitting the
patches make up for adding an error in this one. If you want to leave
it in as its own commit, you should probably flag that it creates a
memory leak that will be fixed in a future patch.
