Disable, mask, it wouldn't have made any difference. Whenever
a yum update dragged in new versions of those services, it
always enabled them regardless of the administrator requested
setting, thus the big hammer to re-disable them every time
yum ran.
This is concerning. It should not be possible to enable a masked service.
Are you running a customized version of systemd? If not, have you run a
`rpm -V systemd` or similar, tested memory and disks, etc?
