The error you're getting is:

Failed to execute command: Exec format error

That means systemd is trying to execute /etc/rc.local as an executable (for instance, a shell script), but that is failing since it appears the /etc/rc.local file is not a valid executable.

Please take a look at its contents. If it's a script, do you have a proper "shebang" line, such as #!/bin/sh or #!/bin/bash at the beginning?

Does the file have the "executable" bit set? (You can set it with chmod +x /etc/rc.local).

Please edit your answer and include the output of commands ls -l /etc/rc.local and file /etc/rc.local, which will help identify the exact issue you're having.

UPDATE: From your comment below, looks like you were missing the shebang line #!/bin/bash in your /etc/rc.local, adding that line fixed the problem.

    @ChangEtheColours Please post the solution as proper answer. Comments don't allow for extensive formatting, and it's impossible to understand what exactly has been changed in the script. – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Nov 22 '18 at 23:14

systemctl status rc-local

FAILED

If I erase from 

/etc/rc.local  ***the*** 
/usr/bin/garbd --cfg /etc/garbd.conf &
exit 0

and save only with 

#!/bin/bash

then I get this
