Bug Description
[impact]
sshfs mount configured in fstab fails with 'too many levels of symbolic links'
[test case]
configure a sshfs mount in fstab using a remote system where the local user performing the mount (usually, root) does not have the remote host ssh key in its known hosts db
then attempt to access any files under the mount, and check the journal
see original description for more detail
[regression potential]
any regression would likely cause systemd-mounted filesystem(s) to fail to be correctly mounted
[scope]
this is needed for g and earlier
this is fixed upstream with commit 2fa0bd7d57863df
