devmapper: prevent libdevmapper from deleting device symlinks in RemoveDeviceDeferred

if there is no cookie set in dm task, or flag DM_UDEV_DISABLE_LIBRARY_FALLBACK
is cleared for a DM_DEV_REMOVE task, libdevmapper will fallback to clean up the
symlink under /dev/mapper by itself, no matter the device removal is executed
immediately or deferred by the kernel.In some cases, the removal is deferred by the
kernel, while the symlink is deleted directly by libdevmapper, when docker tries to
activate the device again, the deferred removal will be canceld, but the symlink will
not show up again, so docker's attempt to mount the device by the symlink will fail,
and it will eventually leads to a `docker start/diff` error.

Fixes #24671
