Subject: [PATCH v10 08/24] x86/resctrl: Introduce the interface to display monitor mode

Introduce the interface file "mbm_assign_mode" to list monitor modes
supported.

The "mbm_cntr_assign" mode provides the option to assign a counter to
an RMID, event pair and monitor the bandwidth as long as it is assigned.

On AMD systems "mbm_cntr_assign" is backed by the ABMC (Assignable
Bandwidth Monitoring Counters) hardware feature and is enabled by default.

The "default" mode is the existing monitoring mode that works without the
explicit counter assignment, instead relying on dynamic counter assignment
by hardware that may result in hardware not dedicating a counter resulting
in monitoring data reads returning "Unavailable".

Provide an interface to display the monitor mode on the system.
$ cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_mode
[mbm_cntr_assign]

v10: Added few more text to user documentation clarify on the default mode.

v9: Updated user documentation based on comments.

v8: Commit message update.

v7: Updated the descriptions/commit log in resctrl.rst to generic text.
    Thanks to James and Reinette.
    Rename mbm_mode to mbm_assign_mode.
    Introduced mutex lock in rdtgroup_mbm_mode_show().

v6: Added documentation for mbm_cntr_assign and legacy mode.
    Moved mbm_mode fflags initialization to static initialization.

v5: Changed interface name to mbm_mode.
    It will be always available even if ABMC feature is not supported.
    Added description in resctrl.rst about ABMC mode.
    Fixed display abmc and legacy consistantly.

v4: Fixed the checks for legacy and abmc mode. Default it ABMC.

v3: New patch to display ABMC capability.

+	In mbm_cntr_assign mode user-space is able to specify which of the

+	in the "num_mbm_cntrs" file. Changing the mode may cause all counters on
+	a resource to reset.
+
+	The mode is useful on AMD platforms which support more CTRL_MON and MON
