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.
