In the old machine (Ubuntu 18.04) we don't set those kernel parameters
and Slurm seems to have no issues with Cgroups? (what happens if those
are not defined? Would you get something like what I was reporting, that
the plugin cannot be loaded, or simply that cgroup would not be able to
enforce memory policies?)

I see that there are some differences in cgroup between 18.04 and 22.04,
but I don't understand them well enough to be able to figure out what
could be the issue...
