simplify "symlink name stack"
With well defined and kernel-supplied node names, we no longer need
to support a possible stack of conflicting symlinks and node names.
Only symlinks with identical names can be claimed by multiple devices.
This shrinks the former /dev/.udev/names/ significantly.
Also the /dev/{block,char}/MAJ:MIN" links are excluded from the name
stack - they are unique and can not conflict.
