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: Oct 14 07:38:38 spaceman systemd[1]: Starting MariaDB database server... -- Subject: Unit mariadb.service has begun start-up -- Defined-By: systemd -- Support: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel -- -- Unit mariadb.service has begun starting up.
