Subject: [PATCH v4 3/8] x86/resctrl: Detect io_alloc feature

Data from I/O devices can be inserted directly into L3 cache. This reduces
demands on DRAM bandwidth and reduces latency to the processor consuming
the I/O data.

Introduce cache resource property "io_alloc_capable" that an architecture
can set if a portion of the L3 cache can be allocated for I/O traffic.

Set this property on x86 systems that support SDCIAE (L3 Smart Data Cache
Injection Allocation Enforcement).

v4: Updated the commit message and code comment based on feedback.

v3: Rewrote commit log. Changed the text to bit generic than the AMD specific.
    Renamed the rdt_get_sdciae_alloc_cfg() to rdt_set_io_alloc_capable().
    Removed leftover comment from v2.

v2: Changed sdciae_capable to io_alloc_capable to make it generic feature.
    Also moved the io_alloc_capable in struct resctrl_cache.
