This is better than just failing because it is quite annoying for the
admin when udevd fails to start while it is being upgraded and breaks
the system.

Sleep 5 seconds and log a message if the signalfd(2) fd returns 0.

Users running 2.6.22 kernels reported udevd spinning in a loop with the
signalfd fd reported as readable but providing no data.
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=551743 for details.
