qos: Don't allow userspace to impose restrictions on CPU idle levels

Browse source 
Giving userspace intimate control over CPU latency requirements is
nonsense. Userspace can't even stop itself from being preempted, so
there's no reason for it to have access to a mechanism primarily used to
eliminate CPU delays on the order of microseconds.

Remove userspace's ability to send pm_qos requests so that it can't hurt
power consumption.
