On my machines I observe random failures caused by rollback happening
after zfs root is mounted. I've observed two types of failures:
- zfs-rollback-bootfs.service fails saying that rollback must be
done just before mounting the dataset
- boot process fails and rescue console is entered.
After making this modification and testing it for couple of days
none of those problems have been observed anymore.
I don't know if `dracut-mount.service` is still needed in the
`After` directive. Maybe someone else is able to address this?

Closes#15025
This had always worked in my testing, but a user on hardware reported
this to happen 100%, and I reproduced it once with cold VM host caches.
dracut-zfs-generator runs as a systemd generator, i.e. at Some
Relatively Early Time; if root= is a fixed dataset, it tries to
"solve [necessities] statically at generation time".
If by that point zfs-import.target hasn't popped (because the import is
taking a non-negligible amount of time for whatever reason), it'll see
no children for the root datase, and as such generate no mounts.
This has never had any right to work. No-one caught this earlier because
it's just that much more convenient to have root=zfs:AUTO, which orders
itself properly.
To fix this, always run zfs-nonroot-necessities.service;
this additionally simplifies the implementation by:
* making BOOTFS from zfs-env-bootfs.service be the real, canonical,
root dataset name, not just "whatever the first bootfs is",
and only set it if we're ZFS-booting
* zfs-{rollback,snapshot}-bootfs.service can use this instead of
re-implementing it
* having zfs-env-bootfs.service also set BOOTFSFLAGS
* this means the sysroot.mount drop-in can be fixed text
* zfs-nonroot-necessities.service can also be constant and always
enabled, because it's conditioned on BOOTFS being set
There is no longer any code generated at run-time
(the sysroot.mount drop-in is an unavoidable gratuitous cp).
The flow of BOOTFS{,FLAGS} from zfs-env-bootfs.service to sysroot.mount
is not noted explicitly in dracut.zfs(7), because (a) at some point it's
just visual noise and (b) it's already ordered via d-p-m.s from z-i.t.

Due to a missing semicolon on the ExecStart line, it wasn't possible
to specify the snapshot name on the bootfs.{rollback,snapshot}
kernel parameters if the boot dataset name was obtained from the
root=zfs:... kernel parameter.

Issue #9543Closes#9947Closes#11956
Unlike other filesystems, snapshots and rollbacks of bootfs need to be
done from a rescue environment. This patch makes it possible to snap-
shot or rollback the bootfs simply by specifying bootfs.snapshot or
bootfs.rollback on the kernel command line. The operation will be
performed by dracut just before bootfs is mounted.
