Bug description:
  On current xenial, LXD containers take ages to reboot:

  lxc launch images:ubuntu/xenial/amd64 x1
  lxc exec x1 reboot

  "systemctl list-jobs" shows:

  The above is also the last journal line that I get for the usual 90s
  timeout, then the container finally reboots.

  Not many processes are actually running any more:

  but apparently the dhclient instance refuses to die (note that ifdown
  -a itself is not running any more).
