Describe the bug
Upgrading fails, seemingly because the existing systemd version is newer in 21.11 than unstable.

Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Install NixOS 21.11
- Remove 21.11 channel, add unstable channel
- Run
nixos-rebuild switch
Expected behavior
NixOS upgrades from 21.11 to unstable.
Additional context
84a769c is the commit upgrading systemd to 249.7, 50d0279 cherry picks it to 21.11.
Adding the --graceful flag to the bootctl update invocation would also solve this issue, albeit leaving the newer EFI files in place.
[nix-shell:~]$ sudo bootctl --path=/boot --graceful update
