[Bug 1584393] Re: systemctl restart networking hangs reloading ssh.service

[Martin Pitt]

I forwarded the patch to Debian, as we currently keep the package in
sync and Colin wants to keep it that way. I'll SRU this to xenial once
it lands in yakkety.

Bug description:
  Issues "systemctl restart networking" never exits. It hangs during a
  call to "systemctl reload ssh.service":

             └─1527 systemctl reload ssh.service

  Then issuing the same command from another terminal causes the first
  to exit successfully (the second also exists successfully).

  On the official vagrant image, I get this problem independently of
  whether the command is issued through and ssh session. I've gotten the
  same behavior on the official xenial AMIs.
