This reverts commit 19e2d91d8cb1f333adf04731f2788ff6ca06cebd.

Journald was recently observed to continuely crash at startup, causing
the system to not be able to finish booting. This was observed locally
on my MT8195 based Chromebook while doing development, and on KernelCI
on a MT8192 based Chromebook [1].

A bisect found this commit to be the first bad commit. Reverting it
seems to have fixed the issue.

Honestly I have no idea what's going on under the hood. Journald getting
stuck means the system doesn't boot to the login prompt. And turning on
journald's debug output didn't produce anything.
