perf/x86/intel: Implement LRU monitoring ID allocation for CQM
It's possible to run into issues with re-using unused monitoring IDs because there may be stale cachelines associated with that ID from a previous allocation. This can cause the LLC occupancy values to be inaccurate. To attempt to mitigate this problem we place the IDs on a least recently used list, essentially a FIFO. The basic idea is that the longer the time period between ID re-use the lower the probability that stale cachelines exist in the cache.
