Bug 84409

Attempting to "start" an encrypted device unit will time out after 90 seconds if no passphrase is entered.

The device entry in /etc/crypttab:
data_sec    UUID=[some UUID]   -

Steps to reproduce:
1) Run "systemd start dev-mapper-data_sec.device"
2) A password agent should ask for a password. Just leave it as is for 90 seconds (assuming your default JobTimeoutSec is 90).
3) The operation times out.
The expected behavior is that it should wait forever until the user types in the right passphrase or exceeds the maximum tries number.

If we take a closer look at the files generated by systemd-cryptsetup-generator (I removed unrelated files from the list):

/run/systemd/generator/data_sec.d:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 83 28 sept. 00:48 90-device-timeout.conf


The "data_sec.d" contains the drop-in configuration file we need to disable device timeout, but the name of the directory is wrong.
It should be "dev-mapper-data_sec.device.d" instead of just "data_sec.d".

Looking at the source file src/cryptsetup/cryptsetup-generator.c, near the end of the create_disk() function (l. 249),
we can notice that the second parameter (unit name) of the write_drop_in() function is the first field from /etc/crypttab, which is the
dm device name witout the /dev/mapper prefix. Moreover, the name isn't escaped, so entering "../oops" in /etc/crypttab will cause
systemd-cryptsetup-generator to create a oops.d directory in /run/systemd.
