Please keep two things in mind:
* this file is always accessible, whether platform supports assignable
  counters or not.
* this is resctrl fs code.

So, considering above, how should user interpret the "Unsupported assign mode"?
Shouldn't it also return this error if a user attempts to enable
"mbm_cntr_assign" on a platform that does not support this mode?

resctrl_arch_mbm_cntr_assign_enabled() returns true if mbm_cntr_assign
mode is enabled, but when it returns false it could mean different things:
platform supports mbm_cntr_assign mode, but it is disabled, or platform
does not support mbm_cntr_assign mode.

resctrl fs should not rely on all archs to duplicate the all the checking done
in resctrl_arch_mbm_cntr_assign_set(). It should never ask arch to enable a mode
that it knows the platform is not capable of.
