contrib: dracut: fix race with root=zfs:dset when necessities required
This had always worked in my testing, but a user on hardware reported this to happen 100%, and I reproduced it once with cold VM host caches. dracut-zfs-generator runs as a systemd generator, i.e. at Some Relatively Early Time; if root= is a fixed dataset, it tries to "solve [necessities] statically at generation time". If by that point zfs-import.target hasn't popped (because the import is taking a non-negligible amount of time for whatever reason), it'll see no children for the root datase, and as such generate no mounts. This has never had any right to work. No-one caught this earlier because it's just that much more convenient to have root=zfs:AUTO, which orders itself properly. To fix this, always run zfs-nonroot-necessities.service; this additionally simplifies the implementation by: * making BOOTFS from zfs-env-bootfs.service be the real, canonical, root dataset name, not just "whatever the first bootfs is", and only set it if we're ZFS-booting * zfs-{rollback,snapshot}-bootfs.service can use this instead of re-implementing it * having zfs-env-bootfs.service also set BOOTFSFLAGS * this means the sysroot.mount drop-in can be fixed text * zfs-nonroot-necessities.service can also be constant and always enabled, because it's conditioned on BOOTFS being set There is no longer any code generated at run-time (the sysroot.mount drop-in is an unavoidable gratuitous cp). The flow of BOOTFS{,FLAGS} from zfs-env-bootfs.service to sysroot.mount is not noted explicitly in dracut.zfs(7), because (a) at some point it's just visual noise and (b) it's already ordered via d-p-m.s from z-i.t.
