v38 introduced the journal and removed the old systemd-kmsg-syslogd 
bridge. As a side effect of the change, the ordering of syslog.socket to 
the rest of the system is not quite correct now. If you're unlucky, you 
will see journald blocking for extended periods of time until rsyslog 
starts. And other processes (in your case: udev) will block on journald.
I noticed the SELinux relabeling process was affected by the same problem.
We have to fix that in systemd.
