systemd/mdadm-last-resort: use ConditionPathExists instead of Conflicts
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. Fixes: cec72c071bbe ("systemd/mdadm-last-resort: add Conflicts to .service file.")
