In PR #17431 we have introduced retry loop in link_update() in order to maximize the chance that we end up with correct target when there are multiple contenders for given symlink. Number of iterations in retry loop is either 1 or LINK_UPDATE_MAX_RETRIES, depending on the value of 'initialized' db flag. When device appears for the first time we need to set the flag before calling link_update() via update_devnode() for the second time to make sure we run the second invocation with higher retry loop counter.
