[PATCH] selftests/resctrl: Skip MBM&CMT tests when Intel Sub-NUMA

From: Shaopeng Tan

From: "Tan, Shaopeng" <tan.shaopeng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When the Intel Sub-NUMA Clustering(SNC) feature is enabled,
the CMT and MBM counters may not be accurate.
In this case, skip MBM&CMT tests.

Hello,

According to the Intel RDT reference Manual,
when the sub-numa clustering feature is enabled, the CMT and MBM counters may not be accurate.
When running CMT tests and MBM tests on Intel processor, the result is "not ok".
So, fix it to skip the CMT & MBM test When the Intel Sub-NUMA Clustering(SNC) feature is enabled.

Thanks,
