fs/resctrl: Add user interface to enable/disable io_alloc feature

AMD's SDCIAE forces all SDCI lines to be placed into the L3 cache portions
identified by the highest-supported L3_MASK_n register, where n is the maximum
supported CLOSID.

To support this, when io_alloc resctrl feature is enabled, reserve the highest
CLOSID exclusively for I/O allocation traffic making it no longer available for
general CPU cache allocation.

Introduce user interface to enable/disable io_alloc feature and encourage users
to enable io_alloc only when running workloads that can benefit from this
functionality. On enable, initialize the io_alloc CLOSID with all usable CBMs
across all the domains.

Since CLOSIDs are managed by resctrl fs, it is least invasive to make "io_alloc
is supported by maximum supported CLOSID" part of the initial resctrl fs
support for io_alloc. Take care to minimally (only in error messages) expose
this use of CLOSID for io_alloc to user space so that this is not required from
other architectures that may support io_alloc differently in the future.

When resctrl is mounted with "-o cdp" to enable code/data prioritization,
there are two L3 resources that can support I/O allocation: L3CODE and
L3DATA.  From resctrl fs perspective the two resources share a CLOSID and
the architecture's available CLOSID are halved to support this.

The architecture's underlying CLOSID used by SDCIAE when CDP is enabled is the
CLOSID associated with the CDP_CODE resource, but from resctrl's perspective
there is only one CLOSID for both CDP_CODE and CDP_DATA. CDP_DATA is thus not
usable for general (CPU) cache allocation nor I/O allocation.

Keep the CDP_CODE and CDP_DATA I/O alloc status in sync to avoid any confusion
to user space.  That is, enabling io_alloc on CDP_CODE does so on CDP_DATA and
vice-versa, and keep the I/O allocation CBMs of CDP_CODE and CDP_DATA in sync.
