MDEV-426: systemd PermissionsStartOnly=true by default
mariadb-service-convert during migration can create a file containing
ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/sysctl -q -w vm.drop_caches=3 if the users my.cnf
contains [mysqld_safe] flush_caches. This sysctl entry change requires root
access. No existing ExecStartPre requires execution requires execution
as another user.
There is a comment in the mariadb{,@}.service.in that indicates
mysqld_install which would require -u mysql to explicity change user to
mysql from root since PermissionsStartOnly=true.
Otherwise the following error would be generated:
