Subject: [PATCH V3 1/4] x86/resctrl: Enable user to view and select thread throttling mode

Intel Memory Bandwidth Allocation (MBA) control is provided per
processor core. At the same time different CLOS, configured with different
bandwidth percentages, can be assigned to the hardware threads
sharing a core. In the original implementation of MBA the maximum throttling
of the per-thread CLOS is allocated to the core. Specifically, the lower
bandwidth percentage is allocated to the core.

Newer systems can be configured to allocate either maximum or
minimum throttling of the per-thread CLOS values to the core.

Introduce a new resctrl file, "thread_throttle_mode", on Intel systems
that exposes to the user how per-thread values are allocated to
a core. On systems that support the original MBA implementation the
file will always display "max". On systems that can be configured
the possible values are "min" or "max" that the user can modify by
writing these same words to the file.

Changes since V2:
- Rebase on top of recently merged series "x86/resctrl: Support wider
  MBM counters". Small change needed to take into account
  asm/resctrl_sched.h -> asm/resctrl.h name change.
- Fix rST formatting of documentation (resctrl_ui.rst) describing
  new "thread_throttle_mode" resctrl file.
