Subject: [PATCH 2/4] xfs: send uevents when major filesystem events happen

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@...nel.org>

Send uevents when we mount, unmount, and shut down the filesystem, so
that we can trigger systemd services when major events happen.  This
enables us to create a udev rule that will start up xfs_healer whenever
a filesystem is mounted.
