When kdump failed due to initqueue timeout, the sysroot.mount and other
serivces could be stuck in `start` but `dead` status:
Example output of systemctl:
dev-disk-by\x2duuid-530830d1\x2df2c7\x2d4c9a\x2d9a82\x2d148609097521.device loaded inactive dead start
<... snip ...>
squash-root.mount loaded active mounted /squash/root
squash.mount loaded active mounted /squash
sysroot.mount loaded inactive dead start /sysroot
<... snip ...>
dracut-cmdline.service loaded active exited dracut cmdline hook
dracut-initqueue.service loaded activating start start dracut initqueue hook
dracut-mount.service loaded inactive dead start dracut mount hook
At this point calling `systemctl start sysroot.mount` will just hang as
systemd will just wait for the services that are stuck in `start`
status. So call `systemctl cancel` here to cancel all pending jobs and
have a clean start for mounting sysroot.
