[OE-core] [RFC][PATCH v2] eudev: Remove udev-cache

As udev depends on devtmpfs, I think it is not necessary to maintain a cache
anymore as device nodes are created automatically by the kernel.
It could even lead to problems, when the cache overwrites existing device nodes
or populates device nodes when no device exists.
But I'm not sure if this change could have some consequences I don't see,
therefore a RFC.

Changes in v2:
Added missing signed-off-by
