Subject: [PATCH 08/18] x86/resctrl: Queue mon_event_read() instead of sending an IPI

x86 is blessed with an abundance of monitors, one per RMID, that can be
read from any CPU in the domain. MPAMs monitors reside in the MMIO MSC,
the number implemented is up to the manufacturer. This means when there are
fewer monitors than needed, they need to be allocated and freed.

Worse, the domain may be broken up into slices, and the MMIO accesses
for each slice may need performing from different CPUs.

These two details mean MPAMs monitor code needs to be able to sleep, and
IPI another CPU in the domain to read from a resource that has been sliced.

mon_event_read() already invokes mon_event_count() via IPI, which means
this isn't possible.

Change mon_event_read() to schedule mon_event_count() on a remote CPU and
wait, instead of sending an IPI. This function is only used in response to
a user-space filesystem request (not the timing sensitive overflow code).

This allows MPAM to hide the slice behaviour from resctrl, and to keep
the monitor-allocation in monitor.c.
