[PATCH v8 next 03/10] arm_mpam: Disable reqPARTID expansion when Narrow-PARTID is unavailable

MPAM supports heterogeneous systems where some type of MSCs may implement
Narrow-PARTID while others do not. However, when an MSC uses
percentage-based throttling (non-bitmap partition control) and lacks
Narrow-PARTID support, resctrl cannot correctly apply control group
configurations across multiple PARTIDs.

To enable free assignment of multiple reqPARTIDs to resource control
groups, all MSCs used by resctrl must either: Implement Narrow-PARTID,
allowing explicit PARTID remapping, or only have stateless resource
controls (non-percentage-based), such that splitting a control group
across multiple PARTIDs does not affect behavior.

The detection occurs at initialization time on the first call to
get_num_reqpartid() from update_rmid_limits(). This call is guaranteed
to occur after mpam_resctrl_pick_{mba,caches}() have set up the
resource classes, ensuring the necessary properties are available
for the Narrow-PARTID capability check.

When an MSC with percentage-based control lacks Narrow-PARTID support,
get_num_reqpartid() falls back to returning the number of intPARTIDs,
effectively disabling the reqPARTID expansion for monitoring groups.
