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. (cherry picked from commit 44a9316bf49967164567a7c716b79af7edf53d03)
