[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RPM 4.20.0 --root /PATH/TO/FAKEROOT Reports "Unable to change root directory: Operation not permitted" (Issue #3441)

[Tomas]

**Describe the bug**
I need to use command `rpm --root /path/to/image/fakeroot -ivh xxx.rpm xxx.rpm` as normal user to install RPM packages into my fakeroot for my embedded system.
When running with RPM 4.19.1.1, the above command runs perfectly.
However, after I upgrade my Fedora 40 to Fedora 41, RPM is also upgraded to versoin 4.20.0, the above command reports `error: Unable to change root directory: Operation not permitted`

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
run `rpm --root $(mktemp -d) -ivh your_rpm_name.rpm`
as normal user

**Expected behavior**
rpm install the RPM package into the path specified by --root

**Output**
rpm reports:
`error: Unable to change root directory: Operation not permitted`

**Environment**
 - OS / Distribution: [Fedora 41]
 - Version [rpm-4.20.0]
