x86/intel_rdt: Update percpu closid immeditately on CPUs affected by changee
If CPUs are moved to or removed from a rdtgroup, the percpu closid storage
is updated. If tasks running on an affected CPU use the percpu closid then
the PQR_ASSOC MSR is only updated when the task runs through a context
switch. Up to the context switch the CPUs operate on the wrong closid. This
state is potentially unbound.
Make the change immediately effective by invoking a smp function call on
the affected CPUs which stores the new closid in the perpu storage and
calls the rdt_sched_in() function which updates the MSR, if the current
task uses the percpu closid.
[ tglx: Made it work and massaged changelog once more ]
