Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] x86/resctrl: Track llc_occupancy of RMIDs in limbo list

After removing a monitor group, its RMID may not be freed immediately
unless its llc_occupancy is less than the re-allocation threshold. If
turning up the threshold, the RMID can be reused. In order to know how
much the threshold should be, it's necessary to acquire the llc_occupancy.

The patch series provides a new tracepoint to track the llc_occupancy.

Changes since v1:
- Rename pseudo_lock_event.h instead of creating a new header file.
- Modify names used in the tracepoint.
- Update changelog.

Changes since v2:
- Fix typo and use the x86/resctrl subject prefix in the cover letter.
- Track both CLOSID and RMID in the tracepoint.
- Remove the details on how perf can be used in patch2's changelog.

Changes since v3:
- Put the tracepoint in the 'else' section of the if/else after
  resctrl_arch_rmid_read().
- Modify names used in the tracepoint.
- Document the properties of the tracepoint.
