[Bug 1973589] [NEW] Restart loop when using PathExistsGlob

Public bug reported:

When using PathExistsGlob in a path unit, systemd starts the
corresponding service unit in an infinite loop. We have observed this
problem only under Jammy.

[Path]
PathExistsGlob=/home/www-data/test/*.so
Unit=test.service
