From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx>
Calls to systemd across dbus are remote procedure calls, which means
that they're subject to transitory connection failures (e.g. systemd
re-exec itself). We don't want to fail at the *first* sign of what
could be temporary trouble, so implement a limited retry with fibonacci
backoff before we resort to invoking xfs_scrub as a subprocess.
