Indeed, it is even used by get_cpu_cacheinfo_id() as well as a few
other places in resctrl.

This looks useful to me from resctrl perspective. Having it can already
benefit resctrl by replacing the open coded ones in pseudo_lock_region_init()
and rdtgroup_cbm_to_size().
We have previously [1] been able to include a cacheinfo change in a resctrl
series by clearly identifying it as such.
