Our handling of the condition was inconsistent. Normally, we'd only fire when the file was created (or removed and subsequently created again). But on restarts, we'd do a "recheck" from path_coldplug(), and if the file existed, we'd always trigger. Daemon restarts and reloads should not be observeable, in the sense that they should not trigger units which were already triggered and would not be started again under normal circumstances. Note that the mechanism for checks is racy: we get a notification from inotify, and by the time we check, the file could have been created and removed again, or removed and created again. It would be better if we inotify would give as an unambiguous signal that the file was created, but it doesn't: IN_DELETE_SELF triggers on inode removal, not directory entry, so we need to include IN_ATTRIB, which obviously triggers on other conditions. Fixes #12801.
