Public bug reported:

`sudo reboot` fails with

    Failed to start reboot.target: Transaction is destructive.

    The system is going down for reboot NOW!

which seems to be caused by an incomplete suspend as stated in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1441253 which
isn't a duplicate because the reason seem to be a btrfs issue there
which I don't suffer from.

I'd suggest to let the suspend time out, provide the user with the
information that a suspend is pending and might timeout or succeed (or
something similar, more useful than "Failed to start reboot.target:
Transaction is destructive.") so that reboot is possible again after
some time.

The issue should be fixed in the kernel as well, it makes sense as well
to handle this situation in `systemd` because assuming that the kernel
is always stable is naive and adding such a timeout improves stability
and better feedback usage.
