mkosi runs a host-side finalize script as the invoking user in a rootless build, so systemd-tmpfiles could not chown the rootfs directories to root and failed with EINVAL, aborting every rootless image build. Run it through mkosi-chroot, which becomes root in the image. mkosi-chroot bind-mounts /etc/resolv.conf, so that one link is made from outside. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wang <wy721@qq.com>
