Ensure all realtime timestamps in a journal file are strictly ordered on write as a defense-in-depth measure. All known callers of journal_file_append_entry and journal_file_copy_entry, which call this function, should be able to handle the error by rotating the journal. This is especially helpful for systems with RTC local time enabled, where all log entries from initramfs might be recorded as several hours later than it actually is, which won't get caught by journald during log flushing. In those cases, the resulting inconsistency can cause libsystemd to loop infinitely through journal files as observed in `abrt-dump-journal-oops`.
