Finding free rmid may be called frequently depending on usage.

It would be better to have a simpler and faster arch helper that finds the itr on x86.
Something like:
struct rmid_entry *resctrl_arch_rmid_matchd(u32 ignored, u32 ignored)
{
return list_entry_first(resctrl_free_lru, itr, list);
}

Arm64 implements the complex case going through the rmid_free_lru list in the patch.
