Previously, path units would remain in the running state while their target unit is deactivating. This left a window of time where the target unit is no longer operational (i.e. it is busy deactivating/cleaning up/etc) but the path unit would continue to ignore inotify events. In short: any inotify event that occurs while the target unit deactivates would be completely lost. With this commit, the path will go back into a waiting state when the target unit starts deactivating. This means that any inotify event that occurs while the target unit deactivates will queue a start job.
