One of my mount didn't work due to this change. Initially I didn't
understand why and just did a mount -a to figure out if there was a
problem mounting. Only much later noticed the journalctl entry. Mounting
over a symlink seem to have worked without issues so bit baffled about
this change.

To clarify: I didn't realize I had it as a symlink, it should've been an
empty directory (due to reordering data and so on).
