When mdev.conf specifies that a given node should be renamed, mdev deletes the "original" name in both add and remove events.  This is wrong, since rename operation is here for a reason, for example in order to resolve conflict of lpN naming (when it will die, finally? :)

Basically, we should construct device_name right from the beginning (instead of using alias), and do everything with it only, and optionally use aliaslink for symlinking.  No unlink(wrong_device_name) and no rename().
