[Bug 1478849] Re: infinite loop in /usr/share/mysql/mysql-systemd-start causes non-interactive installations to fail/hang

[Elias Probst]

I dug a bit deeper and it turned out the problem here is caused by port
3306 already being occupied by another local test-container and
therefore mysqld aborting on startup.

So in the end, the problem could be reduced to:
when mysqld fails to start (as defined in ExecStart=), the 'mysqladmin ping' loop should behave a bit more intelligent instead of pinging to nowhere.

If it is doable, backporting the systemd related improvements in MySQL
[1] would solve this problem and also get rid of all those hacks to make
MySQL 5.6 work with systemd.
