In current systemd we'll use the memory accounting exported in
/proc/meminfo for the root cgroup. That's because on cgroupsv2 memory
is not accounted in the root cgroup at all anymore, because the kernel
devs didn't want multiple "sources of truth" anymore. In order to
ensure behaviour is somewhat systematic we'll use that data on
cgroupsv1 too...
The difference in the accounting is probably because one accounts the
kernel itself while the other does not.
