check_resctrlfs_support() checks if the platform supports resctrl file
system or not by looking for resctrl in /proc/filesystems and returns a
boolean value. The main function of resctrl test suite calls
check_resctrlfs_support() but forgets to check for it's return value. This
means that resctrl test suite will attempt to run resctrl tests (like CMT,
CAT, MBM and MBA) even if the platform doesn't support resctrl file system.

Fix this by checking for the return value of check_resctrlfs_support() in
the main function. If resctrl file system isn't supported on the platform
then exit the test suite gracefully without attempting to run any of
resctrl unit tests.

Adding config file makes sense to specify dependencies.
