Subject: [PATCH 2/2] pm_qos: make update_request callable from interrupt context
The pm_qos framework has to guarantee atomic notifications so that
drivers can request and release constraints at all times while no races
occur.
In order to avoid implementing a secondary notification chain in which
listeners might sleep, we demand that every listener implements it's
notification so that it can run in interrupt context. The listener is in
a better position to know if races are harmful or not.
