[PATCH v7 07/24] x86/resctrl: Introduce the interface to display monitor mode

[Babu Moger]

Introduce the interface file "mbm_assign_mode" to list monitor modes
supported.

The "mbm_cntr_assign" mode provides the option to assign a hardware
counter to an RMID and monitor the bandwidth as long as it is assigned.

On AMD systems "mbm_cntr_assign" is backed by the ABMC (Assignable
Bandwidth Monitoring Counters) hardware feature. "mbm_cntr_assign" mode
is enabled by default when supported.

The "default" mode is the existing monitoring mode that works without the
explicit counter assignment, instead relying on dynamic counter assignment
by hardware that may result in hardware not dedicating a counter resulting
in monitoring data reads returning "Unavailable".

Provide an interface to display the monitor mode on the system.
$cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_mode
[mbm_cntr_assign]
default

Switching the mbm_assign_mode will reset all the MBM counters of all
resctrl groups.

v7: Updated the descriptions/commit log in resctrl.rst to generic text.
    Thanks to James and Reinette.
    Rename mbm_mode to mbm_assign_mode.
    Introduced mutex lock in rdtgroup_mbm_mode_show().

v6: Added documentation for mbm_cntr_assign and legacy mode.
    Moved mbm_mode fflags initialization to static initialization.

v5: Changed interface name to mbm_mode.
    It will be always available even if ABMC feature is not supported.
    Added description in resctrl.rst about ABMC mode.
    Fixed display abmc and legacy consistantly.

v4: Fixed the checks for legacy and abmc mode. Default it ABMC.

v3: New patch to display ABMC capability.
