[Bug 1848777] [NEW] Systemd is missing a patch to allow it to be used with SELinux

[zak]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu Version:
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
Release: 18.04

Systemd version:
Installed: 273-ubuntu10.29
Candidate: 273-ubuntu10.31

Expected Behavior:
Systemd will only remount the cgroups if they need to be relabeled.

Actual Behavior:
Systemd will try to re-mount the cgroups for relabeling which will fail and break systemd services that use cgroups.

Upstream fix:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/8595

Additional Notes:
I was able to work around this issue by applying the patch linked and changing the line:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/8595/files#diff-9e1684efe63d10844b8dd6708fc60e8dR408
To use the 237 version of fix label. E.G. (void) label_fix("/sys/fs/cgroup", true, true);
While building the package from source.
