Subject: [PATCH v3 37/47] arm_mpam: resctrl: Update the rmid reallocation limit

From: James Morse <james.morse@....com>

resctrl's limbo code needs to be told when the data left in a cache is
small enough for the partid+pmg value to be re-allocated.

x86 uses the cache size divided by the number of rmid users the cache may
have. Do the same, but for the smallest cache, and with the number of
partid-and-pmg users.
