memtable flushes for system and regular region groups run under the memtable_scheduling_group, but the controller adjusts shares based on the occupancy of the regular region group. It can happen that regular is not under pressure, but system is. In this case the controller will incorrectly assign low shares to the memtable flush of system. This may result in high latency and low throughput for writes in the system group. I observed writes to the sytem keyspace timing out (on scylla-2.3-rc2) in the dtest: limits_test.py:TestLimits.max_cells_test, which went away after this. Fixes #3717.
