For some obscure reason intel_{start,stop}_scheduling() copy the HT state to an intermediate array. This would make sense if we ever were to make changes to it which we'd have to discard. Except we don't. By the time we call intel_commit_scheduling() we're; as the name implies; committed to them. We'll never back out. So the intermediate array is pointless, modify the state in place and kill the extra array. And remove the pointless array initialization: INTEL_EXCL_UNUSED == 0. Note; all is serialized by intel_excl_cntr::lock.
