This is a tested replacement for udisks2-inhibit which avoids
killing/restarting the daemon. It instead uses polkit's inotify by
merely placing a symlink into
/var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/90-mandatory.d/ . Since we are only
adding a new file (or rm it on cleanup), overlayfs' restricted inotify
support actually seems good enough.

You can test quickly with

  pkcheck -a org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount -p $$; echo $?

This should give 0 ("allowed") normally, and 1 and "Not authorized."
while you are running "sudo ./udisks2-inhibit sleep 5" or something
such.

Title:
  ubiquity and others time out on polkit (killed by udisks2-inhibit)

Status in udisks2 package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  on wily release candidates I get a crash when it switches to the
  network setup page

  this doesn't happen with "try ubuntu" mode which runs as root only
  when launching ubiquity from the desktop

  the backtrace points to an authentication issue

  I get a related backtrace even if I'm connected to a network from the
  panel network-manager
