Point the delphix user's home directory at /home/delphix instead of /export/home/delphix so the home dataset can be mounted at /home, satisfying the CIS checks for the /home partition. The dataset mount and the upgrade-time migration (the /export/home symlink and /home fstab hardening) are handled entirely in appliance-build, so on this side we only update the ansible tasks to reference /home. The explicit base-directory creation is also dropped, since /home is a standard mountpoint that already exists by the time these tasks run.

Problem
CIS hardening requires the home filesystem to be mounted at the standard
/homelocation. Today the home dataset is mounted at/export/home,which causes the following CIS report failures:
/homepartition in/etc/fstab/homeusing themountcommandnodevmount option for/homein/etc/fstabnodevoption for/homeusingmountSolution
Move the appliance
delphixuser's home directory from/export/home/delphixto
/home/delphixby updating the Ansible tasks to reference/home.This is the
delphix-platformhalf of a flag-day change. The dataset mount,the
/export/home->/homebackward-compat symlink, and the/homefstabnodev,nosuidhardening are all handled on the appliance-build side:Because appliance-build now owns the
/homemount, the previous explicitbase-directory creation task (and its now-stale comment about a "non-standard"
home location) is dropped —
/homeis a standard mountpoint that alreadyexists when these tasks run, so
create_home: yespopulates/home/delphixon its own.
