Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86/intel_rdt: Support restoration of subset of permissions

As the mode of a resource group changes, the operations it can support
may also change. One way in which the supported operations are managed
is to modify the permissions of the files within the resource group's
resctrl directory.

At the moment only two possible permissions are supported: the default
permissions or no permissions in support for when the operation is
"locked down". It is possible where an operation on a resource group may
have more possibilities. For example, if by default changes can be made to
the resource group by writing to a resctrl file while the current
settings can be obtained by reading from the file, then it may be
possible that in another mode it is only possible to read the current
settings, and not change them.

Make it possible to modify some of the permissions of a resctrl file in
support of a more flexible way to manage the operations on a resource
group. In this preparation work the original behavior is maintained
where all permissions are restored.
