[PATCH] HAL: Ignore internal DM devices with new DM udev rules

With new device-mapper udev rules are /dev/mapper/* symlinks
to basic device name /dev/dm-X.
(Change requested by udev upstream.)

This change breaks temporary-cryptsetup workaround inside hal.

With new dm-udev rules (uncluded since device-mapper 1.02.39)
there is DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG variable
which controls that scan should be ignored for this device
(it is set for all internal devices, including temporary cryptsetup,
internal parts of lvm devices etc.)

Ignore device if this flag is set.
