I ran the snapd autopkgtest against a bionic systemd deb build with this
and noticed no regressions.

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu Core we recently hit the a race in daemon-reload and
  systemctl twice. This race is fixed in systemd upstream: "fix race
  between daemon-reload and other commands #8803".

  To reproduce its enough to run:

  for i in $(seq 50); do
    systemctl daemon-reload &
    systemctl start ssh &
  done

  This will result in "systemctl start ssh" hanging in ppoll. With the
  patch applied the hangs go away.

  This change is already in the systemd in cosmic+
