[PATCH v5 27/41] arm_mpam: resctrl: Add support for csu counters

From: James Morse <james.morse at arm.com>
resctrl exposes a counter via a file named llc_occupancy. This isn't really
a counter as its value goes up and down, this is a snapshot of the cache
storage usage monitor.
Add some picking code which will only find an L3. The resctrl counter
file is called llc_occupancy but we don't check it is the last one as
it is already identified as L3.

Changes since rfc:
Allow csu counters however many partid or pmg there are
else if -> if
reduce scope of local variables
drop has_csu
Changes since v2:
return -> break so works for mbwu in later patch
add for_each_mpam_resctrl_mon
return error from mpam_resctrl_monitor_init(). It may fail when is abmc
allocation introduced in a later patch.
Squashed in patch from Dave Martin:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250820131621.54983-1-Dave.Martin@arm.com/
Changes since v3:
resctrl_enable_mon_event() signature update
Restrict the events considered
num-rmid update
Use raw_smp_processor_id()
Tighten heuristics:
Make sure it is the L3
Please shout if this means the counters aren't exposed on any platforms
Drop tags due to change in policy/rework
Changes since v4:
Move generic monitor boilerplate to separate patch
