[Bug 1576333] [NEW] runs to early

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

pollinate runs too early on some of the instances i launch.  Basically
nothing guarantees that it will have network access when it attempts to
run.

failure looks something like:
$ lxc launch xenial x1 
$ sleep 4
$ lxc exec x1 systemctl status pollinate
● pollinate.service - Seed the pseudo random number generator on first boot
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/pollinate.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

This seems like it might work:
