Subject: [PATCH 3/8] x86/intel_rdt/mba: Improvements to handle more RDT resources like MBA

This patch does some changes to get ready to handle more resources like
Memory b/w allocation(MBA).

-Update the control registers only when user changes the controls(cbm for
Cache resources and Mem b/w for memory). Hence not sending IPIs on all
domains when user updates the control vals.
-Introduce next_enabled_resource rather than looping through all
resources while parsing each schemata line. The order of resources
should be anyways the same as the root schemata.
-Return error as soon as we detect a resource not entering all domain
values in schemata rather than waiting till we parse all resources.
