As before - this lock isn't available to the architecture code after the filesystem code
moves to /fs/. To prevent concurrent calls to resctrl_abmc_set_one_amd() I think you need
your own mutex.

Neither of this functions callers are in filesystem code, could you drop the 'arch' from
the name - it isn't part of the fs/arch interface.
