Bug#991400: systemd: Failed to migrate controller cgroups from /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user at 1000.service

Package: systemd
Version: 247.3-6
Severity: important

Dear maintainers,

after upgrading from buster to bullseye, I have the following new error 
message in syslog every time after login:

systemd[1375]: -.slice: Failed to migrate controller cgroups from /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user at 1000.service, ignoring: Permission denied

Down below I have added a more comprehensive excerpt from syslog for you 
to see when this error message occurs (timestamps and host name stripped). 
>From what I understand, this issue has already been brought up upstream by 
Michael Biebl (see https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/18047), but 
the patch at https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/18553 went into 
systemd version 248 which was obviously too late for bullseye. Since I 
still get the same error message, I guess that this patch yet has not been 
cherrypicked for the current binary release 247.3-6 in Debian and I would 
like to ask you if you could do so because I would like to stay with a 
stable Debian release after the release of bullseye.

Thank you in advance!

Thomas Uhle
