For security, we would like to monitor and track when the
thunderbolt devices are authorized and deauthorized. Currently
the userspace gets a udev change notification when there is a
change, but the state may have changed (again) by the time we
look at the authorized attribute in sysfs. So an authorization
event may go unnoticed. Thus make it easier by informing the
actual change (authorized/deauthorized) in the udev change
notification.
