Subject: [PATCH] systemd: ensure journal is volatile

If journald.conf already contains Storage=persistent, journald will

write to /var/log/journal/, which ends up at /run/initramfs/log/journal/

after switching root. We want to make sure early boot logs are written

to /run/log/journal/ so they can be flushed to /var/log/journal/ after

switching root.
