From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua...@intel.com> intel_rdt_sched_in() must be called with preemption disabled because the function accesses percpu variables (pqr_state and closid).
If a task moves itself via move_myself() preemption is enabled, which violates the calling convention and can result in incorrect closid selection when the task gets preempted or migrated. Add the required protection and a comment about the calling convention.
