[ Impact ]

The system can not shutdown if the system has multiple VROC RAID arrays.
Intel has fixed it in systemd v251 [1]. 
Need to cherry-pick the commit to ubuntu-jammy systemd 249.11-0ubuntu3.9.

[1] The commit fixes the issue:
commit 3a3b022d2cc112803ea7b9beea98bbcad110368a
Author: Mariusz Tkaczyk <mariusz.tkaczyk at linux.intel.com>

    shutdown: get only active md arrays.
    
    Current md_list_get() implementation filters all block devices, started from
    "md*". This is ambiguous because list could contain:
    - partitions created upon md device (mdXpY)
    - external metadata container- specific type of md array.
    
    For partitions there is no issue, because they aren't handle STOP_ARRAY
    ioctl sent later. It generates misleading errors only.
    
    Second case is more problematic because containers are not locked in kernel.
    They are stopped even if container member array is active. For that reason
    reboot or shutdown flow could be blocked because metadata manager cannot be
    restarted after switch root on shutdown.
    
    Add filters to remove partitions and containers from md_list. Partitions
    can be excluded by DEVTYPE. Containers are determined by MD_LEVEL
    property, we are excluding all with "container" value.

[ Test Plan ]

1. Build two VROC RAID. One RAID 0 for System volume, another RAID 10 for Data volume.
2. Install system on System volume.
3. Update systemd.
4. Reboot the system.
5. Verify if the system can reboot.

[ Where problems could occur ]

Low, upstream fix.

[ Scope ]

Jammy
