Bug Description

See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1890177

I am opening a new ticket because I believe there may have been a regression. I am using rsyslog 8.2112.0-2ubuntu2.2 and I still see this issue.

/etc/rsyslog.d/90-google.conf:
# Google Compute Engine default console logging.
#
# daemon: logging from Google provided daemons.
# kern: logging information in case of an unexpected crash during boot.
#
daemon,kern.* /dev/console

Logs are filled with:
rsyslogd: action 'action-8-builtin:omfile' suspended (module 'builtin:omfile'), retry 0. There should be messages before this one giving the reason for suspension. [v8.2112.0 try https://www.rsyslog.com/e/2007 ]
rsyslogd: action 'action-8-builtin:omfile' resumed (module 'builtin:omfile') [v8.2112.0 try https://www.rsyslog.com/e/2359 ]

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
Release: 22.04

Also noting that `sudo adduser syslog tty` did fix the underlying issue.
