[PATCH 1/1] x86/resctrl: serialize task CLOSID update with task_call_func()

[Peter Newman]

When determining whether tasks need to be interrupted due to a
closid/rmid change, it is possible for the task in question to migrate
or wake up concurrently without observing the updated closid/rmid
values.

This is because stores updating the closid and rmid in the task
structure could reorder with the loads in task_curr() and task_cpu().
Similar reordering also impacts resctrl_sched_in(), where reading the
updated values could reorder with prior stores to t->cpu or rq->curr.

Instead, use task_call_func() to serialize updates to the closid and
rmid fields in the task_struct with context switch. This also removes
the need for READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE when accessing the fields.
