resctrl expects to reset the bandwidth counters when the filesystem
is mounted.

To allow this, add a helper that clears the saved mbwu state. Instead
of cross calling to each CPU that can access the component MSC to
write to the counter, set a flag that causes it to be zero'd on the
the next read. This is easily done by forcing a configuration update.
