Resctrl occasionally wants to know something about a specific resource,
in these cases it reaches into the arch code's rdt_resources_all[]
array.

Once the filesystem parts of resctrl are moved to /fs/, this means it
will need visibility of the architecture specific struct
resctrl_hw_resource definition, and the array of all resources.
All architectures would also need a r_resctrl member in this struct.

Instead, abstract this via a helper to allow architectures to do
different things here. Move the level enum to the resctrl header and
add a helper to retrieve the struct rdt_resource by 'rid'.

resctrl_arch_get_resource() should not return NULL for any value in
the enum, it may instead return a dummy resource that is
!alloc_enabled && !mon_enabled.
