Title:
  brightness keys are handled slower in Yakkety than Xenial

Bug description:
  I've noticed on Lenovo X220 and X230 laptops that pressing brightness
  keys on Yakkety seems less responsive and slower than Xenial.  I ran
  forkstat on Xenial and just observed udev being forked off:

  Xenial:
  $ sudo forkstat
  Time     Event  PID  Info  Duration Process
  17:37:35 fork    273 parent          /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd
  17:37:35 fork   1977 child           /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd
  17:37:35 exit   1977      0    0.008 /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd

  Whereas on Yakkety, there is far more activity:

  I suspect some of this overhead explains the slower responsive feel to
  the brightness buttons. Anyhow, seems like a bit of an overkill for
  all these processes to be running especially compared to Xenial.
