In the latest version of libibverbs, I dropped the udev rules (and
mentioned that as "Drop udev rules, since Ubuntu makes
/dev/infiniband/uverbsX files mode 0666." in the changelog). The
rules are no longer necessary because Ubuntu does not use group rdma
for permissions to those device files. So we can completely drop the
udev rules file.

Since libibverbs no longer has any udev rules included, there is no
dependency on udev version. On update from Hardy, the relevant device
files will get permission 0666 from the rules in the main udev package.
