Resetting of journal causes phosphor-gevent to stop working

[geissonator]

Our automation does this to hard reset the journal at the end of a run:

systemctl stop systemd-journald.service && rm -rf /var/log/journal && systemctl start systemd-journald.service

When this is run, phosphor-gevent stops responding to REST queries. My guess is some race condition with the new code that logs REST calls to the journal.

A workaround is to just run "systemctl restart phosphor-gevent"
