I based my fix heavily on that patch from the PR, but I rewrote it
enough that I might've made any number of mistakes, so it needs fresh
testing. ?The main change I made was to make it a lot less noisy while
waiting (it only mentions the wait once, unless bootverbose is set, in
which case it's once per second). ?I also removed the logic that
limited the retries to nfs and zfs, because I think we can remove all
the old code related to waiting that only worked for ufs and let this
new retry be the way it waits for all filesystems. ?But that's a bigger
change we can do separately; I didn't want to hold up this fix any
longer.
