register_disk() suppress uevents for devices with the GENHD_FL_HIDDEN but enables uevents at the end again in order to announce disk after possible partitions are created.
When the device is removed the uevents are still on and user land sees 'remove' messages for devices which were never 'add'ed to the system. KERNEL[95481.571887] remove /devices/virtual/nvme-fabrics/ctl/nvme5/nvme0c5n1 (block) Let's suppress the uevents for GENHD_FL_HIDDEN again before calling device_del() which will write trigger uevents.
