x86/resctrl: Allow an architecture to disable pseudo lock

Pseudo-lock relies on knowledge of the micro-architecture to disable
prefetchers etc.

On arm64 these controls are typically secure only, meaning Linux can't access
them. Arm's cache-lockdown feature works in a very different way. Resctrl's
pseudo-lock isn't going to be used on arm64 platforms.

Add a Kconfig symbol that can be selected by the architecture. This enables or
disables building of the pseudo_lock.c file, and replaces the functions with
stubs. An additional IS_ENABLED() check is needed in rdtgroup_mode_write() so
that attempting to enable pseudo-lock reports an "Unknown or unsupported mode"
to user-space via the last_cmd_status file.
