We still use SysV scripts for RHEL. Currently, invoking /etc/init.d/openvswitch will redirect the calls to dynamically generated systemd scripts. In the above case when you call "/etc/init.d/openvswitch-switch start", it inturn calls "/bin/systemctl start openvswitch-switch.service" and that inturn again calls "/etc/init.d/openvswitch-switch start"
This patch avoids it. This is similar to what was done to Debian in commit 873d85653d8 (debian: Skip systemctl redirect.)
