[wrynose][PATCH] systemd-systemctl-native: disable libpam meson option

[daniel.turull]

From: Daniel Turull <daniel.turull@ericsson.com>

When building on rhel8.10 we got the following crash during do_compile

systemctl-259.5/src/shared/pam-util.c
| ../sources/systemd-systemctl-259.5/src/shared/pam-util.c:3:10: fatal error: security/pam_ext.h: No such file or directory
|     3 | #include <security/pam_ext.h>
|       |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| compilation terminated.
| ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
| INFO: autodetecting backend as ninja

libpam is not needed for systemctl task done by bitbake, therfore
disable MESON option.

Hello,

What would be the corresponding master commit? "systemd: upgrade to 261"?

Yes. 

I have tested the CVE fix in the rhel8 machine and I found the same
issue that when I did the systemd upgrade
