[PATCH v6 2/2] x86/resctrl: Add tracepoint for llc_occupancy tracking

[Haifeng Xu]

In our production environment, after removing monitor groups, those unused
RMIDs get stuck in the limbo list forever because their llc_occupancy are
always larger than the threshold. But the unused RMIDs can be successfully
freed by turning up the threshold.

In order to know how much the threshold should be, perf can be used to
acquire the llc_occupancy of RMIDs in each rdt domain.

Instead of using perf tool to track llc_occupancy and filter the log
manually, it is more convenient for users to use tracepoint to do this
work. So add a new tracepoint that shows the llc_occupancy of busy RMIDs
when scanning the limbo list.

 max_threshold_occupancy is a user configurable value to determine the
 occupancy at which an RMID can be freed.
 
+The mon_llc_occupancy_limbo tracepoint gives the precise occupancy in bytes
+for a subset of RMID that are not immediately available for allocation.
+This can't be relied on to produce output every second, it may be necessary
+to attempt to create an empty monitor group to force an update. Output may
