- Clear temporary storage in the resctrl code to prevent access to an
unexistent MSR
- Add a simple throttling mechanism to protect the hypervisor from potentially
malicious SEV guests issuing requests in rapid succession.
In order to not jeopardize the sanity of everyone involved in
maintaining this code, the request issuing side has received
a cleanup, split in more or less trivial, small and digestible pieces.
Otherwise, the code was threatening to become an unmaintainable mess.
Therefore, that cleanup is marked indirectly also for stable so that
there's no differences between the upstream code and the stable
variant when it comes down to backporting more there.

Pull x86 fixes from Borislav Petkov:
"There's a little bit more 'movement' in there for my taste but it
needs to happen and should make the code better after it.
- Check cmdline_find_option()'s return value before further
processing
- Clear temporary storage in the resctrl code to prevent access to an
unexistent MSR
- Add a simple throttling mechanism to protect the hypervisor from
potentially malicious SEV guests issuing requests in rapid
succession.
