[Bug 1255610] Re: 100% CPU usage with "initctl emit plymouth-ready" process

[anatoly techtonik]

I found some glue on the net that `kill -9` helps, so I did this and CPU
is quiet now. I believe that issue persisted between reboots before
that. So I am closing this issue for now, but if it pop up again, I'll
be more prepared thanks to your instructions.
