[OT] long-lived spawners

  I think that adding hotplug helper management in a hotplug helper
needlessly complicates things.

  It's easy enough to run the following in the init sequence:
  1. start a netlink listener with a long-lived handler
  2. coldplug stuff
  3. register a hotplug helper
  4. kill the netlink listener.

  To avoid duplicating event handling between 3 and 4, both the
short-lived hotplug helper and the long-lived handler can take a
lock.
