I'm not particularly happy with exporting all that. Can't we create this
new perf_ctx_resched() to include the locking and everything. Then the
above reduces to:
if (test_bit(3, cpuc->active_mask))
perf_ctx_resched(cpuctx);
And we don't get to export the tricky bits.

You want kstrtobool()

allow_tsx_force_abort = val;
is simpler
