Subject: [RFC PATCH 11/19] resctrl: Introduce PLZA static key enable/disable helpers

The resctrl subsystem uses static keys to efficiently toggle allocation and
monitoring features at runtime (e.g., rdt_alloc_enable_key,
rdt_mon_enable_key). Privilege-Level Zero Association (PLZA) is a new,
optional capability that should only impact fast paths when enabled.

Introduce a new static key, rdt_plza_enable_key, and wire it up with arch
helpers that mirror the existing alloc/mon pattern. This provides a
lightweight, unified mechanism to guard PLZA-specific paths and to keep the
global resctrl usage count accurate.
