This doesn't correctly handle multlibs:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/main/builders/nightly-multilib/bui
lds/675/steps/BuildImages_2/logs/stdio

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/main/builders/nightly-multilib/bui
lds/675/steps/BuildImages_3/logs/stdio

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/main/builders/nightly-multilib/bui
lds/675/steps/Running%20Sanity%20Tests_1/logs/stdio

The issue is that these files should be installed into /lib/udev
regardless of the multilib, they're common files, I think there is a
"nonarch" variable with the correct directory name in it.

Cheers,

Richard
