Can we get some decision here? Right now, we don't get root fsck'ed with
'rw' on the command line, which is worse than fsck'ing twice in the 'ro'
case.

Colin had the great idea that we drop mask root-fsck.service in
/run/systemd/system/ when we run fsck in initrd. For example, the initrd
generator could add a service to the initrd that creates the symlink and
a .d snippet that makes systemd-fsck at .service require it. This would
work without complex changes to the systemd core and hopefully cover all
cases.
