Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/intel_rdt: Plug task_work vs task_struct {rmid,closid} update race

Upon moving a task to a new control / monitor group, said task's {closid,
rmid} fields are updated *after* triggering the move_myself() task_work
callback. This can cause said callback to miss the update, e.g. if the
triggering thread got preempted before fiddling with task_struct, or if the
targeted task was already on its way to return to userspace.

Update the task_struct's {closid, rmid} tuple *before* invoking
task_work_add(). As they can happen concurrently, wrap {closid, rmid}
accesses with READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE(). Highlight the required ordering
with a pair of comments.

Fixes: e02737d5b826 ("x86/intel_rdt: Add tasks files")
