  dhclient can fail if other nics are renamed

Bug description:
  given 3 nics eth0, eth1, eth2

  dhclient -1 -v -pf /run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf
  /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.eth0.leases eth0

  while that in its early phases, if eth1 is renamed a race condition
  can cause dhclient to exit failure.

  This can happen in real life when udev and persistent rules are used.
  Ie, in a system where eth0 is configured for 'auto' and dhcp  and
  persistent rules cause renaming of devices during boot.

  I have set up recreate of that more complex system
  lp:~smoser/+junk/lp1444428 , but this recreate is simpler to catch.

  example, while running attached 'nic-go-crazy' on other nics, I try
  ifup eth1

  $ sudo ifup eth1
  sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu
