Hi Babu,

When the AMD QoS feature CDP(code and data prioritization) is enabled
or disabled, the CDP bit in MSR 0000_0C81 is written on one of the
CPUs in L3 domain(core complex). That is not correct. The CDP bit needs
to be updated all the logical CPUs in the domain.

This was not spelled out clearly in the spec earlier. The specification
has been updated. The updated specification, "AMD64 Technology Platform
Quality of Service Extensions Publication # 56375 Revision: 1.02 Issue
Date: October 2020" is available now. Refer the section: Code and Data
Prioritization.

Fix the issue by adding a new flag arch_has_per_cpu_cfg in rdt_cache
data structure.

The documentation can be obtained at the links below:

v2: Taken care of Reinette's comments. Changed the field name to
arch_has_per_cpu_cfg to be bit more meaningful about the CPU scope.
Also fixed some wordings.

This patch looks good to me.
