[Bug 1896137] [NEW] syslog flooded with "Lockdown: systemd-logind: hibernation is restricted; see man kernel_lockdown.7"

[Gerald Gilbert-Thorple]

Public bug reported:

When I close the lid on my laptop, syslog goes crazy with the message

systemd-logind: hibernation is restricted; see man kernel_lockdown.7

repeated ad infinitum, using up all the CPU and GBs of disk space.  I am
not even trying to hibernate; everything in /etc/systemd/login.conf is
commented out.  So nothing much should happen when I close the lid, but
systemd is trying to kill me with these messages.  I am running Ubuntu
20.04.
