[RFC v2 PATCH 1/7] x86/resctrl: Add multiple tasks to the resctrl group at once

[Babu Moger <babu.moger@xxxxxxx>]

The resctrl task assignment for MONITOR or CONTROL group needs to be
done one at a time. For example:

  $mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl/
  $mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/clos1
  $echo 123 > /sys/fs/resctrl/clos1/tasks
  $echo 456 > /sys/fs/resctrl/clos1/tasks
  $echo 789 > /sys/fs/resctrl/clos1/tasks

This is not user-friendly when dealing with hundreds of tasks.

Improve the user experience by supporting the multiple task assignment
in one command with the tasks separated by commas. For example:

  $echo 123,456,789 > /sys/fs/resctrl/clos1/tasks
