The arch code should not access the resctrl file flags. This should be
moved to make
the MPAM support easier. With the arch code setting
r->mon.mbm_cntr_assignable the
fs code can use that to set the flags. Something similar to below patch is
needed:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240802172853.22529-27-james.morse@xxxxxxx/

It is just moving the calls resctrl_file_fflags_init() to resctrl_init().
The  rdt_resource fields are already setup here. Something like
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240802172853.22529-20-james.morse@xxxxxxx/

I feel it is better done when MBAM fs/arch separation.

Indeed, it belongs with the rest of the mon state setup that is organized
as part of the MPAM work.
