Subject: [PATCH v10 03/10] x86,fs/resctrl: Detect io_alloc feature

AMD's SDCIAE (SDCI Allocation Enforcement) PQE feature enables system software
to control the portions of L3 cache used for direct insertion of data from I/O
devices into the L3 cache.

Introduce a generic resctrl cache resource property "io_alloc_capable" as the
first part of the new "io_alloc" resctrl feature that will support AMD's
SDCIAE. Any architecture can set a cache resource as "io_alloc_capable" if a
portion of the cache can be allocated for I/O traffic.

Set the "io_alloc_capable" property for the L3 cache resource on x86 (AMD)
systems that support SDCIAE.

v10: Updated the changelog.

v9: No changes.

v8: Added Reviewed-by tag.

v7: Few text updates in changelog and resctrl.h.

v6: No changes.

v5: No changes.

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.
