static_dev_create() and static_dev_create_from_modules() are called much later,
after udevd checks for /dev/null existence (and in case of failure it exits).
Although not really important with devtmpfs - if someone uses standard tmpfs,
one will have to copy static nodes manually (or at least create /dev/null) - even
though udevd does that itself.
As both of the functions don't seem to depend on things after /dev/null check, they
probably could be moved up a bit, right after setting umask.
