When the kernel wins this race, the device cannot be renamed as udev has attempted, and this causes systemd-network-online.target to timeout waiting for links to be configured. This ultimately results in boot being delayed by about 2 minutes. [Test Plan] Since this is a race condition, we need to boot many instances before we see the issue. The Ubuntu Server team will help coordinate the testing at scale to confirm the fix. [Where problems could occur] The patches effectively make it so that if a interface cannot be renamed from udev, then the new name is left as an alternative name as a fallback. If problems occur, it would be related to device renaming, and particularly related to the devices alternative names.
