Introduce the interface file "mbm_assign_mode" to list monitor modes
supported.
The "mbm_cntr_assign" mode provides the option to assign a hardware
counter to an RMID and monitor the bandwidth as long as it is assigned.
On AMD systems "mbm_cntr_assign" is backed by the ABMC (Assignable
Bandwidth Monitoring Counters) hardware feature. "mbm_cntr_assign" mode
is enabled by default when supported.
The "default" mode is the existing monitoring mode that works without the
explicit counter assignment, instead relying on dynamic counter assignment
by hardware that may result in hardware not dedicating a counter resulting
in monitoring data reads returning "Unavailable".
Provide an interface to display the monitor mode on the system.
$cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_mode
[mbm_cntr_assign]
default
Switching the mbm_assign_mode will reset all the MBM counters of all
resctrl groups.

v7: Updated the descriptions/commit log in resctrl.rst to generic text.
Thanks to James and Reinette.
Rename mbm_mode to mbm_assign_mode.
Introduced mutex lock in rdtgroup_mbm_mode_show().
v6: Added documentation for mbm_cntr_assign and legacy mode.
Moved mbm_mode fflags initialization to static initialization.
v5: Changed interface name to mbm_mode.
It will be always available even if ABMC feature is not supported.
Added description in resctrl.rst about ABMC mode.
Fixed display abmc and legacy consistantly.
v4: Fixed the checks for legacy and abmc mode. Default it ABMC.
v3: New patch to display ABMC capability.

+ "mbm_cntr_assign":
+
+ In mbm_cntr_assign mode user-space is able to specify which control
+ or monitor groups in resctrl should have a hardware counter assigned
+ using the 'mbm_control' file. The number of hardware counters available
+ is described in the 'num_mbm_cntrs' file. Changing to this mode will
+ cause all counters on a resource to reset.
+
+ The feature is needed on platforms which support more control and monitor
+ groups than hardware counters, meaning 'unassigned' control or monitor
+ groups will report 'Unavailable' or not count all the traffic in an
+ unpredictable way.
+
+ AMD Platforms with ABMC (Assignable Bandwidth Monitoring Counters) feature
+ enable this mode by default so that counters remain assigned even when the
+ corresponding RMID is not in use by any processor.
+
+ "default":
+
+ By default resctrl assumes each control and monitor group has a hardware counter.
+ Hardware without this property will still allow more control or monitor groups
+ than 'num_mbm_cntrs' to be created. Reading the mbm files may report 'Unavailable'
