Quoting https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/14828#issuecomment-635212615:
> [kernel uses] msleep_interruptible() and that means when the process receives
> any kind of signal masked or not this will abort with EINTR. systemd-logind
> gets signals from the TTY layer all the time though.
> Here's what might be happening: while logind reads the EFI stuff it gets a
> series of signals from the TTY layer, which causes the read() to be aborted
> with EINTR, which means logind will wait 50ms and retry. Which will be
> aborted again, and so on, until quite some time passed. If we'd not wait for
> the 50ms otoh we wouldn't wait so long, as then on each signal we'd
> immediately retry again.
