No, it is definitely needed. As Stanley replied you in another
thread, it is not protecting I/Os from user layer, but from
other subsystems during shutdown.

When you do a reboot/shutdown/poweroff, how your system behaves highly
depends on how the reboot cmd is implemented in C code under /sbin/.

On Ubuntu, reboot looks like:
$ reboot --help
reboot [OPTIONS...] [ARG]

Reboot the system.

--help Show this help
--halt Halt the machine
-p --poweroff Switch off the machine
--reboot Reboot the machine
-f --force Force immediate halt/power-off/reboot
-w --wtmp-only Don't halt/power-off/reboot, just write wtmp record
-d --no-wtmp Don't write wtmp record
--no-wall Don't send wall message before halt/power-off/reboot


On a pure Linux with a initrd RAM FS built from busybox, reboot looks
like:
# reboot --help
BusyBox v1.30.1 (2019-05-24 12:53:36 IST) multi-call binary.

Usage: reboot [-d DELAY] [-n] [-f]

Reboot the system

-d SEC Delay interval
-n Do not sync
-f Force (don't go through init)


For example, when you work on a pure Linux with a filesystem built from
busybox, when you hit reboot cmd, halt_main() will be called. And based
on the reboot options passed to reboot cmd, halt_main() behaves
differently.

A plain reboot cmd does things like sync filesystem, send SIGKILL to all
processes (except for init), remount all filesytem as read-only and so
on
before invoking linux kernel reboot syscall. In this case, we are safe.

However, if you do a "reboot -f", halt_main() directly invokes reboot().
And with "reboot -f", I can easily reproduce the race condition we are
talking about here - it is not based on imagination.

Find the patch I used for replication in the attachment, fix conflicts
if any. After boot up, the cmd lines I used are

# while true; do cat /sys/devices/platform/soc@0/*ufshc*/rpm_lvl; done &
# reboot -f
