    journald: remove unconditional log_*() use in the main loop
    
    Setting MaxRetentionSec= caused the kernel log to overflow and the
    journal daemon to enter an endless loop.
    
    Logging from the journald main loop gets directed to /dev/kmsg,
    which wakes up journald again. We skip the import of this message
    by checking for our own PID, but this still causes the main loop
    to never go to sleep again because we never stopped logging from
    there.
