If CPUShares= is set this has the effect that the service and all
services in the same slice will be have the "cpu" cgroup controller
turned on. Unfortunately this has the effect that RT scheduling will
be unavailable then, unless an explicit RT budget is configured for
that specific cgroup. This is something systemd cannot be used for
nicely however, as we don't expose high-level controls for the RT
budget. 

The RT budget is configured in the cpu.rt_runtime_us and
cpu.rt_period_us cgroup attributes. You can write to them from
ExecStartPre= for example using the %c specified.

Another option is to simply disable CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED in the
kernel, if you don't need it anyway.
