this single PM QoS request to be updated regardless of which user space
process does that. In other words, this PM QoS request is shared by the entire
user space, so access to the file associated with it needs to be arbitrated
to avoid confusion. [Arguably, the only legitimate use of this mechanism in
practice is to pin a process to the CPU in question and let it use the
