Looks reasonable to me. I have also tested this on Huawei Kunlun server
which hits the offline & online storm as a result of udevadm triggered
and a container udev rule which hooks into change event and offlines
all devices attached to the container. This patch allowed the udev rule
to be more targeted at the offline event.
