Subject: [PATCH v21 07/18] x86/resctrl: Block use of mba_MBps mount option on Sub-NUMA Cluster (SNC) systems

When SNC is enabled there is a mismatch between the MBA control function
which operates at L3 cache scope and the MBM monitor functions which
measure memory bandwidth on each SNC node.

Block use of the mba_MBps when scopes for MBA/MBM do not match.

Improve user diagnostics by adding invalfc() message when mba_MBps
is not supported.
