[RFC PATCH 24/38] arm_mpam: resctrl: Allow resctrl to allocate monitors

When resctrl wants to read a domain's 'QOS_L3_OCCUP', it needs
to allocate a monitor on the corresponding resource. Monitors are
allocated by class instead of component.

MBM monitors are much more complicated, if there are enough monitors,
they will be pre-allocated and free-running. If ABMC is in use instead
then 'some' are pre-allocated in a different way, and need assigning.

Add helpers to allocate a CSU monitor. These helper return an out
of range value for MBM counters.

Allocating a montitor context is expected to block until hardware
resources become available. This only makes sense for QOS_L3_OCCUP
as unallocated MBM counters are losing data.

Since ABMC got merged it may be possible to remove the monitor alloc
call for MBM counters from resctrl as this work is now done by ABMC's
assign call.
