[Bug 1623198] [NEW] Masking and then disabling dbus.service causes the system to freeze

[Sworddragon]

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 16.10 dev with systemd-sysv 231-6 and if I'm executing
the command "systemctl mask dbus.service" and then "systemctl stop
dbus.service" the system does freeze after a few seconds (even switching
to the console is not possible anymore). But booting then the system
works fine without any freezes while dbus got successfully disabled.
