Subject: [PATCH] systemd/mdadm-last-resort: use ConditionPathExists instead of
 Conflicts
Git-commit: 5c4b3b9aa9f576305b36d5ccbd4b929b51307ce9
Patch-mainline: mdadm-4.0
References: bsc#1047314

Commit cec72c071bbe ("systemd/mdadm-last-resort: add Conflicts to .service file.")

added a 'Conflicts' directive to the mdadm-last-resort@.service file in
the hope that this would make sure the service didn't run after the device
was active, even if the timer managed to get started, which is possible in
race conditions.

This seemed to work is testing, but it isn't clear why, and it is known
to cause problems.
If systemd happens to know that the mentioned device is a dependency of a
mount point, the Conflicts can unmount that mountpoint, which is certainly
not wanted.

So remove the "Conflicts" and instead use
 ConditionPathExists=!/sys/devices/virtual/block/%i/md/sync_action

The "sync_action" file exists for any array which requires last-resort
handling, and only appears when the array is activated.  So it is safe
to rely on it to determine if the last-resort is really needed.
