Reason for this behavior change is how mysqld_safe is invoked by the startup script.

Version 5.6.37 for Trusty/Xenial:

"${PERCONA_PREFIX}"/bin/mysqld_safe > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Version 5.7.19 for Trusty/Xenial:

su - mysql -s /bin/bash -c "mysqld_safe > /dev/null &"

So for version 5.7 mysqld_safe script invoked as mysql user and cannot change any limits by itself.

This change existed in upstream since, at least, version 5.7.9 (first 5.7 GA version).
