Since d0ea5c5e39, all lines specifying actions
that recreate a file system object (such as 'f+, 'L+', etc ...) on the same
path were allowed. This had the bad side effect to break the tmpfiles
configuration file sorting for files defining such lines.
For example:
# cat /etc/tmpfiles.d/a.conf
f+ /tmp/file - - - - a.conf
# cat /etc/tmpfiles.d/z.conf
f+ /tmp/file - - - - z.conf
# systemd-tmpfiles --create /etc/tmpfiles.d/{a,z}.conf
# cat /tmp/file
z.conf
Even though "a.conf" sorts lexicographically before "z.conf", the content of
/tmp/file was the result of the action defined in "z.conf"
This patch restores the old logic - if multiple files specify the same path,
the entry in the file with the lexicographically earliest name will be applied.
