[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/network-manager: remove initrd specific service files

[TIAN Yuanhao]

NetworkManager upstream added initrd-specific service files in 1.54:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/merge_requests/2089

These services are intended for use inside an initrd, not a rootfs.
When present in a rootfs, they conflict with the main NetworkManager
service since both claim the same D-Bus name
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager, leading to confusing error messages:

  systemd[1]: Failed to put bus name to hashmap: File exists
  systemd[1]: NetworkManager-initrd.service: Two services allocated
  for the same bus name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager, refusing
  operation.

Remove them to avoid these issues.

I've sent another similar patch, which only removes the NM initrd
services when systemd does not have support for initrd; otherwise, the
NM initrd services are left untouched (someone that uses such a setup
will have to test what's appropriate and fix anything as needed):
