[PATCH v6 00/10] Allow AET to use PMT as loadable module

Requiring INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY=y to enable AET is a functional workaround
to enable enumeration of Application Energy Telemetry (AET) events, but
unacceptable to many users. It results in increased configration complexity,
increased kernel memory footprint and inability to patch problems by unloading
a module and loading an updated version.

Add a registration function to the AET code that can be used by
INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY to provide the enumeration functions.

INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY can be loaded/unloaded independently of
resctrl file system mount/unmount. Perform enumeration on
every mount and cleanup on every unmount.

Changes since v5:

Moved locking around mount/unmount out of file system layer and into
x86 architecture code.

Fixed unmount cleanup to avoid empty mon_data directories if there is
no L3 monitoring and AET is enabled, then disabled on a subsequent
mount.

Fixed RMID allocation to cope with changed number of RMIDs from mount to
mount.

Added footnote to resctrl documentation warning user that AET may not be
enabled if the file system is mounted before enumeration completes.

Drop X86_CPU_RESCTRL_INTEL_AET from Kconfig.

FYI: Seems like no conflicts with Reinette's resctrl cleanup series:

This series applies cleanly on top of Reinette's patches, builds cleanly,
and passes resctrl selftests.
