systemd 251.2 breaks logins

If you see this message after upgrading and booting:

Assertion 'close_nointr(fd) != -EBADF' failed at src/basic/fd-util.c:76, function safe_close(). Aborting.

Just boot into single user mode and comment out the following sections in `/etc/pam,.d/system-login`:

#-session   optional   pam_systemd.so

and in /etc/pam.d/system-auth:

#-auth      [success=2 default=ignore]  pam_systemd_home.so
#-account   [success=1 default=ignore]  pam_systemd_home.so
#-password  [success=1 default=ignore]  pam_systemd_home.so
#-session   optional                    pam_systemd_home.so
