[Bug 1874646] [NEW] Update libvpd package to v2.2.7

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This section is for Focal SRU purpose

[Impact]

A udev script is getting triggered whenever there is a change in sysfs.
All is does is "/bin/touch /run/run.vpdupdate".

Script was generic and used to trigger whenever there is any change in /sys/devices/ node.
On large system it resulted in calling udev script number of times during boot and impacted on boot time performance.

[Test Case]
It is unfortunately difficult to reproduce this problem with the proper hardware setup so IBM will very that the new udev script is in place and acting as expected and that /run/run.vupdate isn't modified unnecessarily.

[Regression Potential] 
Even if unlikely a regression potential would be to prevent the system to boot.
