x86/resctrl: Maintain MBM counter width per resource
The original Memory Bandwidth Monitoring (MBM) architectural definition defines counters of up to 62 bits in the IA32_QM_CTR MSR, and the first-generation MBM implementation uses 24 bit counters. Software is required to poll at 1 second or faster to ensure that data is retrieved before a counter rollover occurs more than once under worst conditions. As system bandwidths scale the software requirement is maintained with the introduction of a per-resource enumerable MBM counter width. In preparation for supporting hardware with an enumerable MBM counter width the current globally static MBM counter width is moved to a per-resource MBM counter width. Currently initialized to 24 always to result in no functional change. In essence there is one function, mbm_overflow_count() that needs to know the counter width to handle rollovers. The static value used within mbm_overflow_count() will be replaced with a value discovered from the hardware. Support for learning the MBM counter width from hardware is added in the change that follows.
