can you try if this patch fixes the problem?
my system is not affected so I can't check

thank you!


the sleep timeout could be different depending on the hardware, so it
checks every second if udev is ready, up to 15 seconds

it seems to be there is no reliable method to know if udev is running
fine, so it calls udevadm control -S, that it's essentially a no-op
when udev is just started, but at least it checks if the control socket
is listening
