Subject: [PATCH v21 11/18] x86/resctrl: Allocate a new field in union mon_data_bits

When Sub-NUMA Cluster (SNC) mode is enabled the legacy monitor reporting
files must report the sum of the data from all of the SNC nodes that
share the L3 cache that is referenced by the monitor file.

Resctrl squeezes all the attributes of these files into 32-bits so they
can be stored in the "priv" field of struct kernfs_node.

Currently only three monitor events are defined by enum resctrl_event_id
so reducing it from 8-bits to 7-bits still provides more than enough
space to represent all the known event types. But note that this choice
was arbitrary. The "rid" field is also far wider than needed for the
current number of resource id types.  This structure is purely internal
to resctrl, no ABI issues with modifying it. Subsequent changes may
rearrange the allocation of bits between each of the fields as needed.

Give the bit to a new "sum" field that indicates that reading this file
must sum across SNC nodes. This bit also indicates that the domid field
is the id of an L3 cache (instead of a domain id) to find which domains
must be summed.

Fix up other issues in the kerneldoc description for mon_data_bits.
