[PATCH 6/6] arm_mpam: Apply T241-MPAM-6 to 63-bit counters

From: Shanker Donthineni <sdonthineni at nvidia.com>

T241-MPAM-6 causes all MBWU counter formats to count 64-byte
requests instead of bytes. Commit dc48eb1ff27c excluded the 63-bit
MSMON_MBWU_LWD format while scaling the shorter counters. Systems
selecting the preferred 63-bit counter consequently report bandwidth
values that are 64 times too small.

Apply the scale to both the sampled value and overflow correction for
the 63-bit format. Unsigned arithmetic retains modulo-u64 behavior
when the scaled counter range exceeds u64.

Fixes: dc48eb1ff27c ("arm_mpam: Add workaround for T241-MPAM-6")
