This is a backport of #27091 to the stable branch since there are minor changes so the same patch does not automatically apply to both.
The pre-flight checks try to change to $HOME, this can fail for multiple
reasons. One such case is that /root is a protected dir under SELinux
which the master should not have access to. The daemon should instead
change to the root dir which is the only dir that is always guaranteed
to be there. The limited testing I have managed to do shows that windows
accepts the '/' path too just fine so the os-specific case is not
required either.
Changing to $HOME was added in #21279
