Bug description:
  [Impact]

  I've just learned that systemd is setting kernel.sysrq to 16 in
  /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf.  This is inconsistent with
  /etc/sysctl.d/10-magic-sysrq.conf which intentionally sets it to 176
  by default.  systemd should drop its setting to defer to the file that
  we have been carrying in procps for a very long time.

  Therefore, users can only sync their storage but not do any other
  actions using the magic sysrq key.

  [Test Plan]

  $ sysctl kernel.sysrq
  => This should show "kernel.sysrq = 176" as set by /etc/sysctl.d/10-magic-sysrq.conf
  $ sysctl net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter
  => This should show "net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=2" as set by /etc/sysctl.d/10-network-security.conf

  [Where problems could occur]

   * This patch changes systemd's sysctl configuration in /lib/sysctl.d/*.conf
   * If something is broken it could fail to apply any of systemd's sysctl configuration, but Ubuntu's defaults from /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf would still be in place.

  [Other Info]
   
   * None
