Modified it as:
+ *
+ * Simply updating dbs_tuners_int.sampling_rate might not be appropriate here.
+ * For example, if the original sampling_rate was 1 second and the requested new
+ * sampling rate is 10 ms because the user needs immediate reaction from
+ * ondemand governor, otherwise the governor may change the sampling rate too
+ * late; up to 1 second later.
+ *
+ * Similar logic applies while increasing the sampling rate. And so we need to
+ * update it with immediate effect.
+ *
+ * This must be called with dbs_data->mutex held, otherwise traversing
+ * policy_dbs_list isn't safe.
