Ensure that a failing plymouth doesn't prevent fsckd to reconnect/exit ... unexpected success

FAILED (unexpected successes=1)

autopkgtest [09:05:38]: test systemd-fsckd: -----------------------]
systemd-fsckd PASS

Note systemd-fsckd only fails on failures & errors, and passed with unexpected successes:
if len(result.failures) != 0 or len(result.errors) != 0:
    return_code = 1

I also wonder what has changed to make this test case reliable, in the past it used to be flakey, that's why i switched it to expectedfailure. I guess it's ok to reenable this in devel.

I see no need to reenable it in stable series. It has a regression potential, since it used to be flakey, it may start to be flakey again blocking SRU migrations.
