Subject: [PATCH 3/5] x86/intel_rdt: Fail early on a resource with incorrect domains

When a schemata file is changed, user enters control values for all
domains and all resources in the below format (Consider L3 and L2
resources):

L3:<cache_id0>=<cbm>;<cache_id1>=<cbm>;...
L2:<cache_id0>=<cbm>;<cache_id1>=<cbm>;...

Return error as soon as we detect a resource not entering all domain
values in schemata rather than waiting till we parse all resources
because the entire change is atomic. Also this avoids looping all
enabled resources again.
