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.
