systemctl start haproxy fails to start on new build 2.9.7

[murusaki187]

After installing 2.9.7 cant run the below statement to start the service. This works as expected in version 2.8.2
[root@ha01 haproxy]# systemctl start haproxy
Job for haproxy.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status haproxy.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

With 2.9.7 installed, it will start and run as expected
[root@ha01 haproxy]# /usr/sbin/haproxy -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
[root@ha01 haproxy]# ps -ef |grep haproxy
haproxy 3869371 1 0 16:10 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/haproxy -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
root 3869461 3867322 0 16:10 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto haproxy

Hi @murusaki187

I described the same issue in #28

[thinkpoddr]

see #28 (comment) for a solution, but ultimately, this should be worked into the repo.

Another comment #28 (comment) exist with (what I think is) a bit more insightful suggestions on how to fix the service startup issues.
