From: Yanfei Xu <yanfei.xu at windriver.com>

klogd and syslogd's type has been changed from "forking" to "simple"
in service file used by systemd. It causes klogd will boot on the
heels of syslogd in a very short time and result in a empty kern.log.

Adding a delay before klogd connecting syslogd can solve this.
--------------------------
steps to reproduce:
    Bitbake core-image-minimal  with configuration as follow:
    MACHINE ??= "genericx86-64"
    DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " systemd"
    VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = "systemd"
    VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_base-utils-syslog = "sysklogd"

After your system booting successfully, you will find /var/log/kern.log
is empty.
