Bug description:
  [impact]

  attempting to vacuum journals using -D with the 'root' (in journald
  terms) journal directory fails to perform any vacuuming.  This can
  lead to journal files continually increasing in size and filling up
  the filesystem.

  [test case]

  see original description below.

  [regession potential]

  this removes a check in the code when iterating journal directories
  during vacuuming, so any regression would likely occur during
  vacuuming, possibly causing failure to vacuum.

  [scope]

  this is fixed upstream by commit
  c488660e6edb3c1375ab62514a8df035c3d712bf which is included starting in
  version 244, so this is already included in Focal.  This is needed for
  Eoan, Bionic, and Xenial.

  [original description]

  systemd has an issue in regard to vacuuming remote journals:
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2376 - this affects 18.04 as
  this version still has this problem.

  Steps to reproduce on "Description:     Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS":

  root@1:~# du -hs /var/log/journal/remote/
  8.6G	/var/log/journal/remote/
  root@1:~# journalctl -D /var/log/journal/remote --vacuum-size=100M
  root@1:~# du -hs /var/log/journal/remote/
  8.6G	/var/log/journal/remote/

  Would it be possible to backport this trivial patch
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/13924 into 18.04?
