Subject: [PATCH] systemctl: for switch-root check, if we switch to a systemd
 init

If "systemctl switch-root" is called with a specific "INIT" or
/proc/cmdline contains "init=", then systemd would not serialize
itsself.

Let systemctl check, if the new init is in the standard systemd
installation path and if so, clear the INIT parameter,
to let systemd serialize itsself.
