[PATCH v4 28/41] arm_mpam: resctrl: Pick classes for use as mbm counters

From: James Morse <james.morse at arm.com>
resctrl has two types of counters, NUMA-local and global. MPAM can only
count global either using MSC at the L3 cache or in the memory controllers.
When global and local equate to the same thing continue just to call it
global.
Because the class or component backing the event may not be 'the L3', it is
necessary for mpam_resctrl_get_domain_from_cpu() to search the monitor
domains too. This matters the most for 'monitor only' systems, where 'the
L3' control domains may be empty, and the ctrl_comp pointer NULL.
resctrl expects there to be enough monitors for every possible control and
monitor group to have one. Such a system gets called 'free running' as the
monitors can be programmed once and left running. Any other platform will
need to emulate ABMC.

Changes since rfc:
drop has_mbwu
Changes since v2:
Iterate over mpam_resctrl_dom directly (Jonathan)
Use for_each_mpam_resctrl_mon
Changes since v3:
Don't continue if mon not found to avoid NULL pointer deref
use int for cache_id in mpam_resctrl_alloc_domain()
Update commit message
Take traffic into account
Only use mbm_total.
Drop tags due to rework
