Subject: [PATCH V5 20/38] x86/intel_rdt: Protect against resource group changes during locking

We intend to modify file permissions to make the "tasks", "cpus", and
"cpus_list" not accessible to the user when cache pseudo-locking in
progress. Even so, it is still possible for the user to force the file
permissions (using chmod) to make them writeable. Similarly, directory
permissions will be modified to prevent future monitor group creation
but the user can override these restrictions also.

Add additional checks to the files we intend to restrict to ensure that
no modifications from user space are attempted while setting up a
pseudo-locking or after a pseudo-locked region is set up.
