[PATCH v3 0/3] selftests/resctrl: Fix resctrl selftests issues on aarch64

[Richard Cheng <icheng@nvidia.com>]

This series fixes numerous issues in the resctrl selftests on aarch64,
where they currently misreport failures.

Patch 1 skips L3_CAT at feature-check time when MPAM legitimately
reports every CBM bit as shareable, instead of failing the test.

Patch 2 adds aarch64 implementations of cl_flush() and sb() in
fill_buf.c so cache flushes are no longer silent no-ops.

Patch 3 teaches detect_vendor() about aarch64 (which exposes no
vendor_id in /proc/cpuinfo) and lets arch_supports_noncont_cat()
return true for ARM, fixing spurious L3_NONCONT_CAT failures.

Changes since v2:
    - Patch 1: add Ilpo's Reviewed-by.
    - Patch 3: factor the aarch64 check into a detect_aarch64() helper
      instead of an inline #ifdef in detect_vendor().
    - Fix the patch ordering in this cover letter to match the series.

  selftests/resctrl: Skip L3_CAT when no exclusive cache portion exists
  selftests/resctrl: Implement cl_flush() and sb() for aarch64
  selftests/resctrl: Recognise aarch64 as a vendor for L3_NONCONT_CAT
