Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Netboot users with a remote filesystem over NFS (possibly over other 
networked filesystems).

  [Test cases]
  1) Boot a system with its root filesystem over NFS.
  2) Run 'sudo netplan apply'
  3) Validate that the system remains responsive and keeps connectivity over 
the same IP address  as it had.

  [Regression potential]
  This SRU changes network properties, and enforces that networkd does not 
release and re-request an IP address from DHCP when it is restarted. 
Environments relying on the IP release/renew behavior may find themselves 
staying on the previous IP address, which might negatively impact connectivity. 
Changes in connectivity on a system running netplan should be investigated as a 
potential regression from this SRU. Other regression possibilities would 
include failure to get a new IP address over time (usually seen as losing 
connectivity) or possible IP conflicts on a network.

  ---

  With a system booted on the network, with its remote root fs on NFS:

  Running 'netplan apply' restarts systemd-networkd, which releases the
  IP received from DHCP. With no IP (and and IP potentially changing),
  the NFS server can't be reached so the system hangs.

  'netplan apply' or restarting systemd-networkd should not affect teh
  system, it should continue working normally despite "changing" network
  states, as long as the effective IP remains the same.
