perf/x86/intel/cqm: Remove pointless spinlock from state cache
'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 three functions which modify the content: intel_cqm_event[start|stop|del] (del maps to stop) are called from the perf core with interrupts disabled which is enough protection for the per CPU state values.
