Bug Description

[Impact]

 * Autopkgtest fails due to corrupted journal file

[Test Case]

 * Observe autopkgtest root-unittests not failing with:

Assertion 'r >= 0' failed at src/journal/test-journal-flush.c:52, function main(). Aborting.

[Where problems could occur]

 * The change has no impact on the systemd binary packages. The relaxed test could hide a journal corruption problem, but it seems the corrupted journal files occur only on arm64 probably due to arm64 reboots being resets: LP: #1748280.

[Original Bug Text]

I'm not 100% certain the upstream bug is the same, as it's in CentOS, but I suspect it is.

I added more detail on what I suspect the cause is in the upstream bug.

I assume the test case here is to just grepping for the assertion failure in the ADT test logs, yes?

The fix is not present in Hirsute yet, because I wanted to land them with the merge of 247.2-4 this week. OTOH this fix is fairly small, could it maybe be accepted with the condition of not releasing it until it gets fixed in Hirsute as well?
