journal: map objects to context set by caller, not by actual object type
When the caller of journal_file_move_to_object() specifies type==0,
the object header is at first mapped in context 0. Then after the header
is checked, the whole object is mapped in a context determined by
the actual object type (which is not even range-checked using
type_to_context()). This looks wrong. It should map in the
caller-specified context.
An old comment in sd_journal_enumerate_unique() supports this view:
/* We do not use the type context here, but 0 instead,
* so that we can look at this data object at the same
* time as one on another file */
Clearly the expectation was that the data object will remain mapped
in context 0 without being pushed away by mapping other objects in
context OBJECT_DATA.
I suspect that this was the real bug that got fixed by ae97089d49
"journal: fix access to munmapped memory in sd_journal_enumerate_unique".
In other words, journal_file_object_keep/release are superfluous after
applying this patch.
