[systemd-devel] [PATCH] Fix the race in deserialization.

unit_notify is fired in deserelization code (particulary in
service_set_state). Units passed in random order, and there is possibility,
that unit with StopWhenUnneeded=yes passed before it actual dependecies. In
that case unit will be stopped as unneeded, because deps in UNIT_INACTIVE state
yet.

So, reuse similar logic (unit.c:1421) to avoid this race
