Subject: [PATCH] x86/resctrl: Cleanup cbm_ensure_valid()

A recent fix to the cbm_ensure_valid() function left
some coding style issues that are now addressed:
- Follow reverse fir tree ordering of variable declarations
- Use if (!val) instead of if (val == 0)
- Return a value instead of using a function parameter as input and
output
