We can certainly do this in a Ceph specific manner via the existing
95-ceph-osd.rules, but my impression was that the by-partuuid symlinks
are "owned" by 60-persistent-storage.rules .

If you don't think the existence of these symlinks for dm paths will be
of use to others then I'll go ahead and propose it as a Ceph only
change.
