[meta-oe][PATCH] lvm2-udevrules: Add ALLOW_EMPTY

[meta-oe][PATCH] lvm2-udevrules: Add ALLOW_EMPTY

[Ovidiu Panait]

When lvm2 is configured without udev feature, the lvm2-udevrules package
is empty, so do_rootfs will fail to install any other packages that
rdepend on it. (e.g. cryptsetup with meta-secure-core layer since commit
https://github.com/jiazhang0/meta-secure-core/commit/afc3939):

..
Problem: conflicting requests
 - nothing provides lvm2-udevrules needed by cryptsetup
..

I think this is a good thing to get this error during build, since
package depends on it at runtime, having
empty content will just defer the error until the system is booted and
then its harder to debug the failures
