struct intel_cqm_state is a strict per cpu cache of the rmid and the usage counter. It can never be modified from a remote cpu.
The 3 functions which modify the content: start, stop and del (del maps to stop) are called from the perf core with interrupts disabled which is enough protection for the per cpu state values.
