This smp_call_function() is a pointless exercise. online callbacks are
guaranteed to run on @cpu.

What's the point of the return value if it gets ignored anyway.

Why are you using nocalls() here? cpuhp_setup_state() will invoke
intel_rdt_online_cpu() on every online cpu.

And you just call rdt_cpumask_update() for each cpu. What is doing the rest
of the cpu initialization (cpu_rdtgroup, root_rtgroup->cpu_mask) ????

Oh well.....
