Subject: [PATCH v2 14/23] x86/resctrl: Calculate bandwidth from the previous __mon_event_count() chunks

mbm_bw_count() is only called by the mbm_handle_overflow() worker once a
second. It reads the hardware register, calculates the bandwidth and
updates m->prev_bw_msr which is used to hold the previous hardware register
value.

Operating directly on hardware register values makes it difficult to make
this code architecture independent, so that it can be moved to /fs/,
making the mba_sc feature something resctrl supports with no additional
support from the architecture.
Prior to calling mbm_bw_count(), mbm_update() reads from the same hardware
register using __mon_event_count().

Change mbm_bw_count() to use the current chunks value from
__mon_event_count() to calculate bandwidth. This means it no longer
operates on hardware register values.
