Subject: [RFC PATCH 11/20] x86/intel_rdt: Associate pseudo-locked regions with its domain

After a pseudo-locked region is locked it needs to be associated with
the RDT domain representing the pseudo-locked cache so that its life
cycle can be managed correctly.

Only a single pseudo-locked region can exist on any cache instance so we
maintain a single pointer to a pseudo-locked region from each RDT
domain.
