pm_qos_requirement might sleep

Make PM_QOS and CPU_IDLE play nicer when run with the RT-Preempt kernel.

The purpose of the patch is to remove the spin_lock around the read in the
function pm_qos_requirement - since spinlocks can sleep in -rt and this
function is called from idle.

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.

Remove the spinlock in pm_qos_requirement by making target_value an atomic
type.
