Patch to make PM_QOS and CPU_IDLE play nicer when ran with the
RT-Preempt kernel.  CPU_IDLE polls the target_value's of some of the
pm_qos parameters from the idle loop causing sleeping locking
warnings.  Changing the target_value to an atomic avoids this issue.

Thanks,

Remove the spinlock in pm_qos_requirement by making target_value an atomic type.
This is necessary for real-time since pm_qos_requirement is called by idle and
cannot be allowed to sleep.
