Since it was Aria as well, this may not be the final issue, but every time i see "*[ERROR] Plugin 'InnoDB' registration as a STORAGE ENGINE failed." *Its due to old ib_logfiles which can be cleared. They would be in /var/lib/mysql. Also check if you have "undo00N" logs, normally N = 3. These can safely be cleared as they will be rebuilt when mariadb finds them missing.
