+journald: fix fd leak in journal_file_empty
+Before my previous patch, journal_file_empty wasn't be called with the
+correct filename. Now that it's being called with the correct filename
+it leaks file descriptors. This patch closes the file descriptors before
+returning.

+journald: fix vacuuming of archived journals
+d_name is modified on line 227 so if the entire journal name is needed
+again p must be used. Before this change when journal_file_empty was called
+on archived journals it would always return with -2.
