perf/x86/intel: Rename DMR offcore_rsp attribute to offmodule_rspgrafted
DMR introduces Offmodule Response events in place of the legacy Offcore Response events, but it still exposes the inherited offcore_rsp PMU attribute for programming the corresponding MSR data. Rename the DMR PMU attribute to offmodule_rsp so the sysfs interface matches the underlying event name and avoids user & tooling confusion.

+===============
+dm-queue-length
+===============
+
+dm-queue-length is a path selector module for device-mapper targets,
+which selects a path with the least number of in-flight I/Os.
+The path selector name is 'queue-length'.
+
+Table parameters for each path: [<repeat_count>]
+
+::
+
+ <repeat_count>: The number of I/Os to dispatch using the selected
+ path before switching to the next path.
+ If not given, internal default is used. To check
+ the default value, see the activated table.
+
+Status for each path: <status> <fail-count> <in-flight>
+
+::
+
+ <status>: 'A' if the path is active, 'F' if the path is failed.
+ <fail-count>: The number of path failures.
+ <in-flight>: The number of in-flight I/Os on the path.
+
+
+Algorithm
+=========
+
+dm-queue-length increments/decrements 'in-flight' when an I/O is
+dispatched/completed respectively.
+dm-queue-length selects a path with the minimum 'in-flight'.
+
+
+Examples
+========
+In case that 2 paths (sda and sdb) are used with repeat_count == 128.
+
+::
+
+ # echo "0 10 multipath 0 0 1 1 queue-length 0 2 1 8:0 128 8:16 128" \
+ dmsetup create test
+ #
+ # dmsetup table
+ test: 0 10 multipath 0 0 1 1 queue-length 0 2 1 8:0 128 8:16 128
+ #
+ # dmsetup status
+ test: 0 10 multipath 2 0 0 0 1 1 E 0 2 1 8:0 A 0 0 8:16 A 0 0
