Why I did it
Profiling the system state on init after fast-reboot during create_switch function execution, it is possible to see few python scripts running at the same time.
This parallel execution consume CPU time and the duration of create_switch is longer than it should be.
Following this finding, and the motivation to ensure these services will not interfere in the future, LLDP is delayed in 90 seconds until the system finish the init flow after fastboot.
How I did it
Add a timer for LLDP service.
Copy the timer file to the host bin image.
How to verify it
Run fast-reboot on MLNX platform and observe faster create_switch execution time.
