Subject: [PATCH] Avoid forever loop for journalctl --list-boots command
 (#4278)

When date is changed in system to future and normal user logs to new
journal file, and then date is changed back to present time, the
"journalctl --list-boot" command goes to forever loop. This commit tries
to fix this problem by checking first the boot id list if the found boot
id was already in that list. If it is found, then stopping the boot id
find loop.

(cherry picked from commit ec02a6c90a5d8b234db534ce3f8f1901f8532057)
