x86/intel_rdt: Add cpus_list rdtgroup file

Browse Source 
The resource control filesystem provides only a bitmask based cpus file for
assigning CPUs to a resource group. That's cumbersome with large cpumasks
and non-intuitive when modifying the file from the command line.

Range based cpu lists are commonly used along with bitmask based cpu files
in various subsystems throughout the kernel.

Add 'cpus_list' file which is CPU range based.

  # cd /sys/fs/resctrl/
  # echo 1-10 > krava/cpus_list
  # cat krava/cpus_list
  1-10
  # cat krava/cpus
  0007fe
  # cat cpus
  fffff9
  # cat cpus_list
  0,3-23

[ tglx: Massaged changelog and replaced "bitmask lists" by "CPU ranges" ]

@@ -59,6 +59,9 @@ There are three files associated with each group:
given to the default (root) group. You cannot remove CPUs
from the default group.
"cpus_list": One or more CPU ranges of logical CPUs assigned to this
group. Same rules apply like for the "cpus" file.
"schemata": A list of all the resources available to this group.
Each resource has its own line and format - see below for
details.
