Subject: [PATCH v3] fs/resctrl: Add CONFIG_RESCTRL_ASSIGN_FIXED Kconfig entry

Commit

  3b497c3f4f04 ("fs/resctrl: Introduce the interface to display monitoring modes")

introduced CONFIG_RESCTRL_ASSIGN_FIXED but left adding the Kconfig entry
until it was necessary.

CONFIG_RESCTRL_ASSIGN_FIXED is a resctrl fs Kconfig option so handle
attempts to modify counter assignment mode when it is enabled in resctrl fs
rather than delegating to arch specific code.

Update the commit message to make it clear this is an anticipated follow on

Use "counter assignment mode" text throughout.

Start user message with a capital
Make summary more succint - was
 "fs/resctrl: Add missing kconfig entry for CONFIG_RESCTRL_ASSIGN_FIXED"
Tidy changelog
