Public bug reported:

If a system only has DNS server info via open-iscsi (putting aside
whether or not that's a good idea), and then starts a Docker container
or LXD container, name resolution breaks.

The open-iscsi udev rules invokes net-interface-handler when a network
device is added or removed. This helper deals with dns resolution. On
boot, this sets up dns resolution based on the information gathered
during early boot.

However:

1) The udev rule and script run the full script for all network
interfaces, whether or not they are the iscsi interface - they do not
bail out early if there is a mismatch. So, the removal of any device
triggers 'net-interface-handler stop', which removes the
/run/resolvconf/interface/ethX.iscsi-target file, breaking resolution.
This occurs even if the interface being removed is *not* ethX.

2) For some reason, both starting a docker container and starting an LXD
container involve adding 2 interfaces and then removing one. The
additions do nothing, as the resolution rule has already been installed.
The removal, however, causes the resolution rule to be removed, breaking
DNS.
