busy_rmid_llc -> rmid_busy_llc ?

Could you please also mention the MBM state impacted?

Should this be moved to previous patch where first usage of ~0 appears?

Also, not having a size creates opportunity for inconsistencies. How
about ((u32)~0) ?

It seems that this helper and its subsequent usage eliminates the
need for struct rdt_resource::num_rmid? Are any users left?
