This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 229-4ubuntu21.4
---------------
systemd (229-4ubuntu21.4) xenial; urgency=medium
* debian/extra/start-udev: test that sync parameters file is writable, before
writing to it. On old kernels (e.g. v4.4) the file is available but is
read-only, thus writing to it causes init to fail and thus raise a kernel
panic. As an extra caution ignore failures to write into that file anyway,
since synchronous scsi probing is not critical enough to prevent starting
d-i. LP: #1784454
