The added test, `SystemdMemoryAwarenessTest` currently passes on cgroups v1 and fails on cgroups v2 due to the way how [JDK-8217338](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8217338) was implemented when JDK 13 was a thing. Therefore immediately problem-listed. It should get unlisted once [JDK-8322420](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8322420) merges.

If I am not mistaken, new test requires, that testsuite is ran as superuser (root). (Because it writes `/etc/systemd/system`, runs certain systemd commands). Should test be skipped for non-root?
