Subject: [PATCH v11 19/23] x86/resctrl: Introduce the interface to switch between monitor modes

Resctrl subsystem can support two monitoring modes, 'mbm_cntr_assign' or
'default'. In mbm_cntr_assign, monitoring event can only accumulate data
while it is backed by a hardware counter. In 'default' mode, resctrl
assumes there is a hardware counter for each event within every CTRL_MON
and MON group.

Introduce interface to switch between mbm_cntr_assign and default modes.

$ cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_mode
[mbm_cntr_assign]
default

To enable the "mbm_cntr_assign" mode:
$ echo "mbm_cntr_assign" > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_mode

To enable the default monitoring mode:
$ echo "default" > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_mode

MBM event counters are automatically reset as part of changing the mode.
Clear both architectural and non-architectural event states to prevent
overflow conditions during the next event read.

v11: Changed the name of the function rdtgroup_mbm_assign_mode_write() to
     resctrl_mbm_assign_mode_write().
     Rewrote the commit message with context.
     Added few more details in resctrl.rst about mbm_cntr_assign mode.
     Re-arranged the text in resctrl.rst file.

v10: The call mbm_cntr_reset() has been moved to earlier patch.
     Minor documentation update.

v9: Fixed extra spaces in user documentation.
    Fixed problem changing the mode to mbm_cntr_assign mode when it is
    not supported. Added extra checks to detect if systems supports it.
    Used the rdtgroup_cntr_id_init to initialize cntr_id.

v8: Reset the internal counters after mbm_cntr_assign mode is changed.
    Renamed rdtgroup_mbm_cntr_reset() to mbm_cntr_reset()
    Updated the documentation to make text generic.

v7: Changed the interface name to mbm_assign_mode.
    Removed the references of ABMC.
    Added the changes to reset global and domain bitmaps.
    Added the changes to reset rmid.

v6: Changed the mode name to mbm_cntr_assign.
    Moved all the FS related code here.
    Added changes to reset mbm_cntr_map and resctrl group counters.

v5: Change log and mode description text correction.

v4: Minor commit text changes. Keep the default to ABMC when supported.
    Fixed comments to reflect changed interface "mbm_mode".

v3: New patch to address the review comments from upstream.
