xorg log showing /dev/tty0 open failure

This bug seems to happen on qemux86 ~ 0.15% of the time (very rare).  Rewitt's guess which I agree with is that this is a race issue where /dev/tty0 is not up/ready yet.  He suggests adding a dependency to the X systemd service to /dev/tty0.

Note that this shows up in the systemd log section as :
| ● xserver-nodm.service loaded failed failed Xserver startup without a display manager


Xorg.log attached.

Based on 2.2 QA, this is no longer reproducing.
