When BMEC is supported the resctrl event can be configured in a number
of ways. This depends on architecture support. rdt_get_mon_l3_config()
modifies the struct mon_evt and calls mbm_config_rftype_init() to create
the files that allow the configuration.

Splitting this into separate architecture and filesystem parts would
require the struct mon_evt and mbm_config_rftype_init() to be exposed.

Instead, add resctrl_arch_is_evt_configurable(), and use this from
resctrl_mon_resource_init() to initialise struct mon_evt and call
resctrl_file_fflags_init()
resctrl_arch_is_evt_configurable() calls rdt_cpu_has() so it doesn't
obviously benefit from being inlined. Putting it in core.c will allow
rdt_cpu_has() to eventually become static.
