Bug#783120: lvm2-lvmetad.service fails to start with separate /var

[Michael Biebl]

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.111-2.2
Severity: important
File: /lib/systemd/system/lvm2-lvmetad.service

The lvm2-lvmetad.service has DefaultDependencies=no to start early
during boot (before local-fs.target) but it also has
PIDFile=/var/run/lvmetad.pid

With a separate /var partition this leads to a failure during boot as
/var might not be mounted yet and therfore /var/run not being
available/writable.

Please use /run/lvmetad.pid for the pid file. /run is guaranteed to
exist and be writable.
