So I had another look and the check is bogus.

The RT sched with !CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED works only with the struct
rt_rq embedded in the generic struct rq -- regardless of the task's
membership in the cpu controller hierarchy.

Perhaps, the commit message may mention this also prevents enabling cpu
controller on unified hierarchy (if there are any (kernel) RT tasks to
migrate).
