[PATCH 1/1] systemd: update a uclibc specific patch to avoid segment fault error

[Chen Qi]

The alloca() function allocates space in the stack frame of the caller,
so using alloca(new_size - old_size) would possibly crash the stack,
causing a segment fault error.

This patch fixes the above problem by avoiding using this function in
journal-file.c.

[YOCTO #6201]
