[Bug 1623194] [NEW] Permanent I/O from kworker since migrated to systemd

[Sworddragon]

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 16.10 dev and after upgrading from upstart to systemd
(231-6) I'm noticing that if the system is on idle (even if only booted
to the login screen) there are permanent I/O activities on my hard disk
drive. On making a look with inotifywait this happens by permanently
accessing files in /home/.ecryptfs/sworddragon/.Private (but no I/O
appears at the transparent mountpoint at /home/sworddragon). On making a
look with iotop the only I/O activities are comming from kworker (and
sometimes jbd2) at this time.

** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu)
