[Bug 1632804] [NEW] ROUNDTTT in configure_networking is effectively ignored

[LaMont Jones]

Public bug reported:

With the changes from Bug #1621507, ROUNDTTT is effectively ignored.

The loop checks only for the existence of /run/net-${DEVICE}.conf, and
the dhclient scripts ALWAYS (even on failure) create it, it will try to
get a lease exactly once before bailing out. Ideally, if both ipv4 and
ipv6 are present on the vlan, then both would be configured and (as is
done) present in the net-$DEV.conf file.  Generally speaking (and why we
didn't notice this in testing..), dhclient gets a lease on the first
pass.
