Is Root Locus Technique used only for systems with unity gain in feedback loop?

Not necessarily.
You can apply the root locus technique to a system with a feedback gain of H which may not be unity.
To draw the root locus you just have to make the open loop transfer function equal to -1 (for negative feedback) and 1 (for positive feedback).

Not, the root locus can be used in all linear systems.

not necessarily unity feed back system . it is the method used to plot the locus of the poles or zeros of a system when the gain is varied.

Not necessary.
A non unit gain feedback is equivalent to a unit gain feedback with serialized 1/H block at its output. H is the original non unit gain in feedback path.

gain varies from zero to infinity

The very definition of the root locus is the path formed by closed-loop poles as gain varies.

no root locus technique can be evaluated for linear systems whose loop gain varies from zero to infinity
but loop must be closed .
