On trusty systems (at least), walinuxagent ships the udev rules to
produce the devices that cloud-init expects to find.  So that isn't the
source of this bug.

Instead, the problem is that the Azure data source defaults to using
/dev/sdb for ephemeral0 ('disk_aliases': {'ephemeral0': '/dev/sdb'} at
[0]).  Iff we detect a _fabric-formatted_ (i.e. NTFS) ephemeral disk,
then the data source updates this default to instead point at that
ephemeral disk (which will, correctly, be /dev/disk/azure/...).  This
happens fine on every first boot, but on subsequent boots, we don't find
a fabric-formatted ephemeral disk (because we reformatted it on first
boot), so we don't update the default, so we end up rewriting the mounts
to point at /dev/sdb.

(I'll give fixing this some thought, and then comment again with
suggestions.)
