Didier Roche 8ae8b2a144 Workaround to avoid a race when /var/lib is a persistent dataset
If /var/lib is a dataset not under <pool>/ROOT/<root_dataset>, as
proposed in the ubuntu root on zfs upstream guide
(https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/Ubuntu-18.04-Root-on-ZFS),
we end up with a race where some services, like systemd-random-seed
are writing under /var/lib, while zfs-mount is called. zfs mount will
then potentially fail because of /var/lib isn't empty and so, can't be
mounted.
Order those 2 units for now (more may be needed) as we can't declare
virtually a provide mount point to match
"RequiresMountsFor=/var/lib/systemd/random-seed" from
systemd-random-seed.service.
The optional generator for zfs 0.8 fixes it, but it's not enabled
by default nor necessarily required.

Example:
- rpool/ROOT/ubuntu (mountpoint = /)
- rpool/var/ (mountpoint = /var)
- rpool/var/lib  (mountpoint = /var/lib)

Both zfs-mount.service and systemd-random-seed.service are starting
After=systemd-remount-fs.service. zfs-mount.service should be done
before local-fs.target while systemd-random-seed.service should finish
before sysinit.target (which is a later target).
Ideally, we would have a way for zfs mount -a unit to declare all paths
or move systemd-random-seed after local-fs.target.
