Subject: [PATCH v2 1/6] x86/intel_rdt: Add framework for better RDT UI diagnostics

From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@...el.com>

Commands are given to the resctrl file system by making/removing
directories, or by writing to files.  When something goes wrong
the user is generally left wondering why they got:

	bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

Add a new file "last_cmd_status" to the "info" directory that
will give the user some better clues on what went wrong.

Provide functions to clear and update last_cmd_status
that check that we hold the rdtgroup_mutex.
