[PATCH v3 2/5] selftests/resctrl: Make resctrl_tests run using kselftest framework

In kselftest framework, all tests can be build/run at a time,
and a sub test also can be build/run individually. As follows:
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests run_tests
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=ptrace run_tests

However, resctrl_tests cannot be run using kselftest framework,
users have to change directory to tools/testing/selftests/resctrl/,
run "make" to build executable file "resctrl_tests",
and run "sudo ./resctrl_tests" to execute the test.

To build/run resctrl_tests using kselftest framework.
Modify tools/testing/selftests/Makefile
and tools/testing/selftests/resctrl/Makefile.

Even after this change, users can still build/run resctrl_tests
without using framework as before.

Some important feedbacks from v1&v2 are addressed as follows:

- The changelog mentions that changes were made to the resctrl
selftest Makefile but it does not describe what the change accomplish
or why they are needed.
=> By changing the Makefile, resctrl_tests can use kselftest
framework like other sub tests. I described this in changelog.

- The changelog did not describe how a user may use the kselftest
framework to run the resctrl tests nor the requested information
on how existing workflows are impacted.
=> I described how to build/run resctrl_tests with kselftest framework,
and described the existing workflows are not impacted that users can
build/run resctrl_tests without using kselftest framework as before.

- tools/testing/selftests/resctrl/README should be updated.
=> I separate the update of README to a new patch.[patch v3 3/5]

- Why is the meaning of "EXTRA_SOURCES" (i.e. what is "extra"?) and
why is "SRCS" no longer sufficient?
=> I referred to other Makefiles, and found "SRCS" is better
than "EXTRA_SOURCES". So, I updated it to use "SRCS".
