Subject: [PATCH v1 09/20] x86/resctrl: Abstract and use supports_mba_mbps()

To determine whether the mba_mbps option to resctrl should be supported,
resctrl tests the boot cpus' x86_vendor.

This isn't portable, and needs abstracting behind a helper so this check
can be part of the filesystem code that moves to /fs/.

Re-use the tests set_mba_sc() does to determine if the mba_sc is supported
on this system. An 'alloc_capable' test is added so that this property
isn't implied by 'linear'.
