Subject: [PATCH V2 1/9] x86/intel_rdt: Fix data type in parsing callbacks

From: Xiaochen Shen <xiaochen.shen@...el.com>

Each resource is associated with a parsing callback to parse the data
provided from user space when writing schemata file.

The 'data' parameter in the callbacks is defined as a void pointer which
is error prone due to lack of type check.

parse_bw() processes the 'data' parameter as a string while its caller
actually passes the parameter as a pointer to struct rdt_cbm_parse_data.
Thus, parse_bw() takes wrong data and causes failure of parsing MBA
throttle value.

To fix the issue, the 'data' parameter in the parsing callbacks is
defined and handled as a pointer to struct rdt_parse_data (renamed from
struct rdt_cbm_parse_data).

Fixes: 7604df6e16ae ("x86/intel_rdt: Support flexible data to parsing callbacks")
Fixes: 9ab9aa15c309 ("x86/intel_rdt: Ensure requested schemata respects mode")
