Boot time improvement with systemd and nfs-utils

rpc-statd-notify is causing a 10 second hang on my system during boot
due to an unwanted dependency on network-online.target. This
dependency isn't needed anyway, because rpc-statd-notify (sm-notify)
will wait for the network to come online if it isn't already (up to 15
minutes, so no risk of timeout that would be avoided by systemd)

Subject: [PATCH] systemd: network-online.target is not needed for
rpc-statd-notify.service

Commit 09e5c6c2 changed the After line for rpc-statd-notify to change
network.target to network-online.target, which is incorrect, because
sm-notify has a default timeout of 15 minutes, which is longer than
the timeout for network-online.target. In other words, the dependency
on network-online.target is useless and delays system boot by ~10
seconds.
