Lennart Poettering 9752a9ef8f journald: refresh cached client context if stream's unit doesn't match
On kernels lacking CLONE_INTO_CGROUP sd-executor is forked into the
service manager's cgroup, logs a few messages from there, and only then
attaches itself to the unit's cgroup and connects stdout/stderr to
journald. Since we cache client metadata per PID and only refresh it
after 1s, log output on such a stream was attributed to init.scope
rather than to the unit, and hence "journalctl -u" (and thus
"systemd-run -v", "systemctl -v start", "systemctl -v wait") would not
show it.

Hence, if a stream tells us the unit it belongs to, and that doesn't
match what we have cached, refresh the cached data.
