After the update to systemd 257.7 in Fedora, there are reports that we fail to create a symlink: systemd-gpt-auto-generator[585]: Failed to create symlink /run/systemd/generator/local-fs.target.wants/systemd-fsck-root.service: File exists (sd-exec-[574]: /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-gpt-auto-generator failed with exit status 1. I guess that some other generator created the symlink. We silently ignore EEXIST in similar codepaths, so add that in one more place. (The target of the symlink doesn't really matter. The name of the link matters. So something like symlink_idempotent would not be better. For example, a different generator might use a slightly different target path, and symlink_idempotent would be too strict.)
