Definitions and directory structures are not documented. Add
comments to improve the readability and help future additions.

* Define the file type flags for base and info directories.

+ * RESCTRL filesystem has two main components
+ * a. info
+ * b. base
+ *
+ * /sys/fs/resctrl/
+ * |
+ * --> info (Top level directory named "info". Contains files that
+ * | provide details on control and monitoring resources.)
+ * |
+ * --> base (Root directory associated with default resource group
+ * as well as directories created by user for MON and CTRL
+ * groups. Contains files to interact with MON and CTRL
+ * groups.)
+ *
+ * Note: resctrl uses flags for files, not for directories.
+ * Directories are created based on the resource type. Added
+ * directories below for better understanding.
