As the comment in the script says, a process need to be in the root
cgroup in order to switch its scheduler policy to SCHED_{RR,FIFO}. So
maybe in your case the shell process is already in the root cgroup?
In my case I need to ssh to a Fedora VM, and that makes my shell process
to be in a sub cgroup called /user.slice/.../XXX.scope (looks like some
systemd stuff). And since /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/tasks doesn't exit in the
system with cgroup v2 only, the script skips moving the target process
to the root cgroup, and therefore the subsequent test fails.
