Subject[PATCH v11 04/10] x86/resctrl: Add comments on RFTYPE flags hierarchy

Definitions and directory structures are not documented. Add
comments to improve the readability and help future additions.

+ * Note: resctrl uses flags for files, not for directories.
+ * Directories are created based on the resource type. Added
