So we run this rather frequently, and it will trample all over:

because I cannot see any serialization between those sites.

Also, isn't it rather weird to just assume all cpus are busy in
update_group_power()? If you would actually set the right value in
update_cpu_power() you could use a straight sum in update_group_power()
and get a more or less accurate number out.
