Subject: [PATCH] journal: make skipping of exhausted journal files effective

 again

Commit 668c965af "journal: skipping of exhausted journal files is bad if

direction changed" fixed a correctness issue, but it also significantly

limited the cases where the optimization that skips exhausted journal

files could apply.

As a result, some journalctl queries are much slower in v219 than in v218.

(e.g. queries where a "--since" cutoff should have quickly eliminated

older journal files from consideration, but didn't.)

If already in the initial iteration find_location_with_matches() finds

no entry, the journal file's location is not updated. This is fine,

except that:

 - We must update at least f->last_direction. The optimization relies on

   it. Let's separate that from journal_file_save_location() and update

   it immediately after the direction checks.

 - The optimization was conditional on "f->current_offset > 0", but it

   would always be 0 in this scenario. This check is unnecessary for the

   optimization.

(cherry picked from commit 950c07d421c04e5aae99973479f4f13131fb45e1)
