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.
