Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  When using multipathd disks as bcache, multipath-tools does not pick
  the disks up at boot time.

  This is due to an interaction between bcache-tools and multipath-
  tools. The udev rules for bcache-tools, specifically
  /lib/udev/rules.d/69-bcache.rules occupies the disk during boot so
  multipath-tools fails to interact with the disks.

  [ Test Case ]

  1) get an image
  $ wget https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily-live/pending/noble-live-server-amd64.iso

  2) Create bcache disk
  $ fallocate -l 20G image.img
  $ make-bcache -C image.img

  3) Boot into iso with multipathed bcache disk
  $ kvm -m 2048 -boot d -cdrom ./noble-live-server-amd64.iso -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi -drive file=image.img,if=none,id=sda,format=raw,file.locking=off -device scsi-hd,drive=sda,serial=0001 -drive if=none,id=sdb,file=image.img,format=raw,file.locking=off -device scsi-hd,drive=sdb,serial=0001

  Select "Try or install Ubuntu" wait for the OS to load. Press F2 to
  escape to a shell to check multipathed devices.
