riscv_cbqri: resctrl: Add cache allocation via capacity block mask

This commit wires up CBQRI capacity controllers into resctrl for L2 and
L3 resources. It manages control domains during CPU hotplug and requires
all controllers at the same cache level to report identical capabilities.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this bypass the capability agreement check for dynamically registered
controllers?

If a CBQRI capacity controller is registered late (for instance, via a DT
overlay) and its CPU is subsequently onlined,
cbqri_attach_cpu_to_all_ctrls() will discover the controller backing the
new CPU and create a domain for it.

However, I don't see a call to cbqri_cc_caps_agree(hw_res->ctrl, ctrl)
before creation to verify that the late controller's capabilities match.
If the new controller has capabilities (like block mask size or RCID count)
that differ from the boot-time selected controller, will this group
mismatched controllers into the same resctrl resource?

Could this cause capacity configuration operations to fail gracefully with
-EIO when hardware limits are exceeded, or otherwise abort CPU hotplug?
