Right, how abut changing change this description to:
control group  ->   resctrl allocation group
monitor group  ->   resctrl monitor group?

Yes, the Documentation/x86/resctrl_ui.rst described them as
"Resource Control feature", which is composed of allocation
and monitor, so distinguish them as above seems to be appropriate.
