I'm also inclined to this check not being completely correct.

This guard also prevents enabling cpu controller on unified hierarchy
with !CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED. (If there are any kernel RT threads in root
cgroup, they can't be migrated to the newly create cpu controller's root
in cgroup_update_dfl_csses().)

I considered relaxing the check to non-root cgroups only, however, as
your example shows, it doesn't prevent reaching the avoided state by
other paths. I'm not that familiar with RT sched to tell whether
RT-priority tasks in different task_groups break any assumptions.
