[PATCH 5/6] xfs_scrub_fail: tighten up the security on the background systemd service

Darrick J. Wong

Currently, xfs_scrub_fail has to run with enough privileges to access
the journal contents for a given scrub run and to send a report via
email. Minimize the risk of xfs_scrub_fail escaping its service
container or contaminating the rest of the system by using systemd's
sandboxing controls to prohibit as much access as possible.

The directives added by this patch were recommended by the command
'systemd-analyze security xfs_scrub_fail@.service' in systemd 249.
