[Bug 1837914] Re: restart systemd-jounald fails

[Dan Streetman]

As this is intermittent, and the patch is clearly correct as well as
trivial, I included it without successfully reproducing myself.

** Description changed:

  [impact]
  
  in some situations, restarting journald causes assertion failure.
  
  [test case]
  
- TDB
+ intermittently, when restarting journald.  See upstream bug for repro
+ details.
  
  [regression potential]
  
  this adjusts the journal file destructor, so any regression would likely
  occur when cleaning up journal files and/or stopping/restarting.
  
  [scope]
  
  this is fixed by commit c377a6f3ad3d9bed4ce7e873e8e9ec6b1650c57d which
  is included in Focal.  This is needed for Eoan and earlier.
  
  [original description]
  
  While restarting systemd-jounald, the following error message occurs:
  
  systemd-journald[28007]: Assertion 'f' failed at ../src/journal/journal-
  file.c:143, function journal_file_close(). Aborting.
  
  release: Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
  systemd version: 229-4ubuntu21.22
  
  This issue is reported at
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/12400 and solved at
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/12679
  
  Please cherry-pick this fix to the ubuntu16.04 package.
