FTBFS: mariadb fails to start due to MEMLOCK limit under 256 MB

This bug report is basically about the same issue as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mariadb-10.6/+bug/1970634, but since that one was fixed with a workaround (https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-server/-/commit/8d20ca979cf422d3a507283b86c2547d78559179), we need this new bug report to track the underlying issue.

I tested today removing the workaround commit and uploaded to https://launchpad.net/~mysql-ubuntu/+archive/ubuntu/mariadb-10.11/+builds?build_text=&build_state=all and was able to confirm that this still happens on archs s390x and ppc64el:

2023-10-05 1:40:12 0 [Warning] mariadbd: io_uring_queue_init() failed with ENOMEM: try larger memory locked limit, ulimit -l, or https://mariadb.com/kb/en/systemd/#configuring-limitmemlock under systemd (262144 bytes required)
231005 1:40:12 [ERROR] mysqld got signal 6 ;
This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
To report this bug, see https://mariadb.com/kb/en/reporting-bugs
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help
diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed,
something is definitely wrong and this may fail.
Server version: 10.11.5-MariaDB-2~bpo23.10.1~1696467303.580e555cdeb.debian. source revision:
key_buffer_size=134217728
read_buffer_size=131072

It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 468037 K bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

On armhf multiple tests run, but many also fail on MariaDB crashing on signal 7 and signal 11, and they seem unrealted.

On amd64 the root cause of the failure is likely the same, but error looks like this:

023-10-05 1:33:49 0 [Warning] mariadbd: io_uring_queue_init() failed with errno 2
