Subject: [PATCH 13/32] x86,fs/resctrl: Add an architectural hook called for first mount

Enumeration of Intel telemetry events is an asynchronous process involving
several mutually dependent drivers added as auxiliary devices during
the device_initcall() phase of Linux boot. The process finishes after
the probe functions of these drivers completes. But this happens after
resctrl_arch_late_init() is executed.

Tracing the enumeration process shows that it does complete a full seven
seconds before the earliest possible mount of the resctrl file system (when
included in /etc/fstab for automatic mount by systemd).

Add a hook at the beginning of the mount code that will be used to check
for telemetry events and initialize if any are found.

The hook is only called on the first mount of the resctrl file system as
that is all that is needed for telemetry enumeration.

resctrl filesystem calls the hook with no locks held. Architecture code is
responsible for any required locking.
