Subject: [PATCH 4.1 100/123] perf/x86/intel/cqm: Return cached counter value from IRQ context

4.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@...el.com>

commit 2c534c0da0a68418693e10ce1c4146e085f39518 upstream.

Peter reported the following potential crash which I was able to
reproduce with his test program,

The CQM task events are not safe to be called from within interrupt
context because they require performing an IPI to read the counter value
on all sockets. And performing IPIs from within IRQ context is a
"no-no".

Make do with the last read counter value currently event in
event->count when we're invoked in this context.
