dockerd left open file descriptors do deleted /var/log/journal//.journal files

I'm using dockerd with --log-driver=journald.
After few days it left many open fd to files in /var/log/journal:

ls -l /proc/$(cat /var/run/docker.pid)/fd |grep deleted |wc -l
6250

which store place on disk.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. install docker, configure it to use journald

Describe the results you received:

ls -l /proc/$(cat /var/run/docker.pid)/fd |grep deleted |wc -l
6250

Describe the results you expected:
no open deleted files.
