/var/run should be a symlink to /run.  That's been required for a number
of revs of Fedora.

Nothing to do with systemd.  Fedora decided, by policy, to
merge /usr/{bin,lib,lib64,sbin} with /{bin,lib,lib64,sbin}.  There is a
still lot of skew in packages that conform to the previous policy and
those that conform to the current policy.  Not having links
from /var/{run,locks} into / is known to break things on Fedora and
CentOS 7.  Not a systemd problem.
