Resctrl selftest prints a message on test failure that Sub-Numa
Clustering (SNC) could be enabled and points the user to check theirs BIOS
settings. No actual check is performed before printing that message so
it is not very accurate in pinpointing a problem.
Figuring out if SNC is enabled is only one part of the problem, the
other being whether the kernel supports it. As there is no easy
interface that simply states SNC support in the kernel one can find that
information by comparing L3 cache sizes from different sources. Cache
size reported by /sys/devices/system/node/node0/cpu0/cache/index3/size
will always show the full cache size even if it's split by enabled SNC.
On the other hand /sys/fs/resctrl/size has information about L3 size,
that with kernel support is adjusted for enabled SNC.
Add a function to find a cache size from /sys/fs/resctrl/size since
finding that information from the other source is already implemented.
Add a function that compares the two cache sizes and use it to make the
SNC support message more meaningful.
Add the SNC support message just after MBA's check_results() since MBA
shares code with MBM and also can suffer from enabled SNC if there is no
support in the kernel.

Changelog v2:
- Move snc_ways() checks from individual tests into
snc_kernel_support().
- Write better comment for snc_kernel_support().
