Have you read the comments in /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf ?
You previously already had tmpfs-on-/tmp under sysvinit as you've set it
in /etc/default/rcS. This setting was migrated when systemd was installed.
Are you saying this setting was incorrectly migrated?
Can you attach your /etc/default/rcS?

As for your question:
If you want to get rid of tmpfs-on-/tmp, run systemctl disable tmp.mount
and then rm /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf
