This hook allows architecture specific code to be called right after
perf_events' context switch but before the scheduler lock is released.
It will serve two uses in this patch series:
1) Calls CMT's cgroup context switch code that update the current RMID
when no perf event is active (in continuous monitoring mode).
2) Calls __pqr_ctx_switch to perform the write with the final value to
the slow PQR_ASSOC msr.
This hook is different than the one used by Intel CAT in the series
currently under review in LKML. CAT series simply adds a call to
intel_rdt_sched_in in __switch_to (see
"[PATCH v6 09/10] x86/intel_rdt: Add scheduler hook").
This series proposes a change to use finish_arch_pre_lock_switch instead.
Since, for CMT, the integration with perf_events requires the context
switch of the intel rdt common code to occur after perf's context switch
and before releasing the switch lock, in order to perform (1) correctly.
