x86/intel_rdt: Protect against resource group changes during locking We intend to modify file permissions to make the "tasks", "cpus", and "cpus_list" not accessible to the user when cache pseudo-locking in progress. Even so, it is still possible for the user to force the file permissions (using chmod) to make them writeable. Similarly, directory permissions will be modified to prevent future monitor group creation but the user can override these restrictions also. Add additional checks to the files we intend to restrict to ensure that no modifications from user space are attempted while setting up a pseudo-locking or after a pseudo-locked region is set up.
