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.

+Devicetree Dynamic Resolver Notes
+=================================
+
+This document describes the implementation of the in-kernel
+DeviceTree resolver, residing in drivers/of/resolver.c
+
+How the resolver works
+----------------------
+
+The resolver is given as an input an arbitrary tree compiled with the
+proper dtc option and having a /plugin/ tag. This generates the
+appropriate __fixups__ & __local_fixups__ nodes.
+
+In sequence the resolver works by the following steps:
+
+1. Get the maximum device tree phandle value from the live tree + 1.
+2. Adjust all the local phandles of the tree to resolve by that amount.
+3. Using the __local__fixups__ node information adjust all local references
+ by the same amount.
+4. For each property in the __fixups__ node locate the node it references
+ in the live tree. This is the label used to tag the node.
+5. Retrieve the phandle of the target of the fixup.
+6. For each fixup in the property locate the node:property:offset location
+ and replace it with the phandle value.
