Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * systemd aborts journald, upon watchdog expiry and generates lots of crash reports
   * it appears that journald is simply stuck in fsync
   * it has been agreed to disable watchdog timer on journald

  [Test Case]

   * watch drop-off of errors w.r.t. watchdog timer

  [Regression Potential]

   * Potentially journald does get stuck, and thus is no longer
  automatically restarted with a sigabrt crash. However, so far, it is
  not known to do that.
