Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Shutdown is delayed by 30s when open-iscsi is configured to auto
  mode but no iscsi devices were found.

  [Test Case]

  (1) * Start a PV (non-iscsi) instance in Oracle Cloud (https://www.oracle.com/cloud/)
   * Monitor the instance's console.
   * Shut down the instance
   * Observe the shutdown proceeding in a timely manner without the following printouts:

  (2) * Start an iSCSI instance in Oracle Cloud (https://www.oracle.com/cloud/)
   * Monitor the instance's console.
   * Restart the instance
   * Observe the instance rebooting properly

  [Regression Potential]

   * The fix is removing /run/initramfs/open-iscsi.interface during
  running initramfs scripts if not iscsi disks were found. In case not
  detecting an iscsi device but removing the .interface file the system
  may reconfigure the network interface later losing connection to the
  iscsi device.

  [Original Bug Text]

  open-iscsi should not leave around the stamp file if no connections
  were made

  open-iscsi finalrd hook is sensitive to /run/initramfs/open-
  iscsi.interface as an indicator that rootfs might have been an iscsi
  mount, and thus logout needs to happen inside finalrd.

  However, in auto-mode, and without any iscsi hard-drives found, that
  stamp file is still left around. It should be cleaned up, such that
  such boots do not result in 30s shutdown delay.

  Proposed patch is this:

  /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top$ diff -u iscsi.orig iscsi
