The problem is you are trying to downgrade sys-fs/udev but not
virtual/udev. If you want to force using udev-171, you need to mask both
the real and virtual atoms. Try this in /etc/portage/package.mask/udev:
>=sys-fs/udev-181
>=virtual/udev-181
Then emerge -avuD1 udev and see if that fixes it.
I get the downgrades you would expect:
UD ] virtual/udev-171 [196]
UD ] sys-fs/udev-171-r9
I also get some weird companion downgrades:

I don't have Qt installed anywhere, so I can't reproduce that problem. I
also don't see that particular version of qt-script in the tree, so I
can't be sure, but my guess is some Qt dep that you already have
installed depends on a newer version of udev than you will be getting
after the downgrade, thus requiring it to downgrade as well.
and these:
Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

Does this look normal?
Yes, I expected something like that. In all likelihood, you'll need to
completely remove sys-fs/udev and virtual/udev and then reinstall the
older version. You'll probably want to do this in single user mode (i.e.
`rc single`), so running programs don't crash suddenly. A reboot
afterward is probably a good idea as well.
