x86/intel_rdt: Add cpus_list rdtgroup file
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" ]
