[PATCH] udev: avoid udev stopping persistent pppd connections

[PATCH] udev: avoid udev stopping persistent pppd connections

[Steffen Sledz]

From: Mario Schuknecht <schuknecht@dresearch-fe.de>

When a pppd session is disconnected it triggers the udev to ifdown the
ppp link which kills pppd and inhibits a reconnection.

Now avoid udev stopping ppp connections.
