Subject: [PATCH v2 26/32] perf/x86/intel/cqm: make one write of PQR_ASSOC per ctx switch

For perf_events, PQR_ASSOC is written twice: in ctx_in and ctx_out.
Since writes to PQR_ASSOC are slow, this has a high impact in context
swich cost.

Modify pqr_common so pqr_update_rmid do not write the msr
right away, but until a call to __pqr_ctx_switch that is called from
the recently introduced finish_arch_pre_lock_switch hook.
