cpufreq: pcc: Fix the potentinal scheduling delays in target_index()
pcc_cpufreq_target(): cpufreq_freq_transition_begin(); spin_lock(&pcc_lock); [critical section] cpufreq_freq_transition_end(); spin_unlock(&pcc_lock); Above code has a performance issue, consider that Task0 executes 'cpufreq_freq_transition_end()' to wake Task1 and preempted imediatedly without releasing 'pcc_lock', then Task1 needs to wait for Task0 to release 'pcc_lock'. In the worst case, this locking order can result in Task1 wasting two scheduling rounds before it can enter the critical section.
