In mbm_cntr_assign mode, the hardware counter should be assigned to read
the MBM events.

Report "Unassigned" in case the user attempts to read the events without
assigning the counter.

v8: Used MBM_EVENT_ARRAY_INDEX to get the index for the MBM event.
     Documentation update to make the text generic.

v7: Moved the documentation under "mon_data".
     Updated the text little bit.

v6: Added more explaination in the resctrl.rst
     Added checks to detect "Unassigned" before reading RMID.

v5: New patch.
