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.

Looking through the coding it looks more or less okay to me; but if you really need to run it under user 'root'  I think we will not have so much use for this in our test environments  because we use other test users.
Not saying that this is a very bad thing,  maybe it is just the way it is, that 'root' is needed ?
