Memory erasure is slower on Buster than on 3.x

On Jenkins features/erase_memory.feature:62 # Scenario: Erasure of the aufs read-write branch on shutdown fails quite often. e.g. https://jenkins.tails.boum.org/job/test_Tails_ISO_feature-buster/181/cucumberTestReport/system-memory-erasure-on-shutdown/erasure-of-the-aufs-read-write-branch-on-shutdown/

As temporarily solution I bump the sleep time from 20 -> 40 secs, so we have a more stable test result.

As the erase_memory is a important feature of tails, we should have a look, why this got slower from 3.X -> 4.X.
