[PATCH v3 07/10] x86/resctrl: Add arch_needs_linear to explain AMD/Intel MBA difference

The configuration values user-space provides to the resctrl filesystem are ABI. To make this work on another architecture we want to move all the ABI bits out of /arch/x86 and under /fs. To do this, the differences between AMD and Intel CPUs needs to be explained to resctrl via resource properties
