udev crashes when deleting a partition in gparted in live session

[Lyn Perrine]

To reproduce boot the lubuntu amd 64 beta 2 image and open gparted and delete an xfs partition from the live session on my ssd.

Description: Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch)
Release: 15.10

I expected systemd not to crash when I deleted an xfs partition. Instead it crashed as soon as I clicked delete and apport showed up.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

This just crashes an udev worker and thus is fairly harmless. Is that still an issue on current xenial?
