Description of problem:
Connecting via ssh to a server with a password is longer with RHEL 9 compared to RHEL 8

IT seemed to be resolved in RHEL 8 with the patch pam-1.3.1-fds-closing.patch (RHBZ1737812), but the fix has been reverted upstream and is not part of the code anymore.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
9.0, 9.1 and 9.2

How reproducible:
Connect using a password authentication

Actual results:
With RHEL 9, sshd spends 25% of its time running the close syscall :
RHEL 9 :

Is it possible to recreate a patch to correct this behavior?
