journald: turn off COW for journal files on btrfs
btrfs' COW logic results in heavily fragment journal files, which is detrimental for perfomance. Hence, turn off COW for journal files as we create them. Turning off COW comes at the cost of data integrity guarantees, but this should be acceptable, given that we do our own checksumming, and generally have a pretty conservative write pattern. Also see discussion on linux-btrfs: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg41001.html
