rtkit logging

rtkit is very spammy and floods syslog with messages. To disable this:

sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/system/rtkit-daemon.service.d
sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/rtkit-daemon.service.d/log.conf
[Service]
LogLevelMax=notice

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart rtkit-daemon.service

example default log entries:
