For instantaneous jobs (e.g. starting of targets, sockets, slices, or
Type=simple services) the log shows the job completion
before starting:
systemd[1]: Created slice -.slice.
systemd[1]: Starting -.slice.
systemd[1]: Created slice System Slice.
systemd[1]: Starting System Slice.
systemd[1]: Listening on Journal Audit Socket.
systemd[1]: Starting Journal Audit Socket.
systemd[1]: Reached target Timers.
systemd[1]: Starting Timers.
...
The reason is that the job completes before the ->start() method returns
and only then does unit_start() print the "Starting ..." message.
The same thing happens when stopping units.
Rather than fixing the order of the messages, let's just not emit the
Starting/Stopping message at all when the job completes instantaneously.
The job completion message is sufficient in this case.
