Subject: [PATCH 1/1] mount/swap/cryptsetup: introduce an option to prevent
 systemd from making a unit wanted by its device unit

systemd introduced a behavior that consisted in activating automatically a unit
generated by either fstab-generator or cryptsetup-generator each time its
device unit is entering in plugged state and regardless of whether it happened
during the boot process or much later.

This behavior is confusing for a lot of users and interacts badly with tools
which are operating on block devices.

Fortunately this feature has been removed by upstream since v242 for both mount
and swap units, with commits 142b8142d7bb84f07ac33fc00527a4d48ac8ef9f and
9b88bb5023dfa3cea406c14fdaa3d8e3e320907a respectively.

However for backward compatibility reasons we can't simply drop it, therefore
this patch introduces a new (but temporary) kernel command line option named
'systemd.device_wants_unit' so one can choose to prevent systemd from starting
automagically a unit which was generated by {cryptsetup,fstab}-generator by
setting it to 'off'.

The default value for this option is 'on' so no behavior change will happen by
default but please note that next major versions of SLE will permanently switch
it to 'off' without any possibilities to change it.

With this option enabled, it's now possible to prevent all swap units to be
activated by masking the swap target.

[fbui: fixes jsc#SLE-7689]
