package/eudev: Fix monitor starting for kernels w/o CONFIG_SHMEM

When the kernel has CONFIG_SHMEM disabled, /dev is a ramfs (instead of a
tmpfs) and the name_to_handle_at system call is not supported. This
causes eudev's monitor application to exit on startup.

Upstream eudev has added this fix which is not yet part of a release.

+Subject: [PATCH] src/libudev/libudev-monitor.c: do not check if /dev is tmpfs
+
+This check fails for buildroot systems where /dev is not mounted
+as a tmpfs filesystem.  Dropping this check should be safe even
+on regular systems.
+
+This solves issue #172.
