x86/intel_rdt: Add utility to restrict/restore access to resctrl files
When a resource group is used for Cache Pseudo-Locking then the region of cache ends up being orphaned with no class of service referring to it. The resctrl files intended to manage how the classes of services are utilized thus become irrelevant. The fact that a resctrl file is not relevant can be communicated to the user by setting all of its permissions to zero. That is, its read, write, and execute permissions are unset for all users. Introduce two utilities, rdtgroup_kn_mode_restrict() and rdtgroup_kn_mode_restore(), that can be used to restrict and restore the permissions of a file or directory belonging to a resource group.
