Subject: [PATCH V4 16/38] x86/intel_rdt: Introduce the Cache Pseudo-Locking modes

The two modes used to manage Cache Pseudo-Locked regions are introduced.
A resource group is assigned "pseudo-locksetup" mode when the user
indicates that this resource group will be used for a Cache
Pseudo-Locked region. When the Cache Pseudo-Locked region has been set
up successfully after the user wrote the requested schemata to the
"schemata" file, then the mode will automatically changed to
"pseudo-locked".  The user is not able to modify the mode to
"pseudo-locked" by writing "pseudo-locked" to the "mode" file directly.
