Description:
After upgrading kernel from 4.8.13 to 4.9, my laptop randomly gets frozen. The time is about 1~2 minutes after boot completed. Downgrading to 4.8.13 and everything is fine. Unlike  FS#52246 , I can login before the system gets frozen.

`dmesg` output is attached.

Approaches tried:

1. In dmesg log,
[ 245.404952] INFO: task systemd-hostnam:405 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
[ 245.405014] Not tainted 4.9.0-1-ARCH #1
[ 245.405044] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

So I `sudo mv /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-hostnamed{,.backup}`. After reboot system freezing is still. I guess systemd-hostnamed is also a victim rather than the cause

2. According to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=134249, tried to disable IPv6. Still freezing

Additional info:

Software:
testing/linux 4.9-1
core/systemd 232-6
testing/linux-firmware 20161222.4b9559f-2
extra/zsh 5.3.1-1

Hardware
Laptop: Acer Aspire E1-571G
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install testing/linux 4.9
2. Login to tty1
3. Play with some simple commands, ls, htop, vim, etc.
4. System gets frozen

I've using 4.9.1 for several days and apparently the kernel bug has already been fixed. This issue may be closed.
