You are taking RCU lock when accessing tg->uclamp_req but not when
accessing tg->uclamp_pct.

Good point.

Is that intentional? Can tg be destroyed under you?

Actually, the rcu_read{,un}lock should be unnecessary in the context of
the kernfs file op handler -- the tg/css won't go away as long as its
kernfs file is being worked with.
