Subject: [PATCH V3 33/39] x86/intel_rdt: Create resctrl debug area

In preparation for support of debugging of RDT sub features the user can
now enable a RDT debugfs region.

Introduce the Kconfig option to enable this debug area and the subsequent
creation of the resctrl debugfs directory.

+	 * Adding the resctrl debugfs directory here may not be ideal since

+	 * &mm->mmap_sem --> rdtgroup_mutex for the latter that can cause
