Subject: [PATCH V2] x86/resctrl: Fix rdt_last_cmd_printf() usage and typos within

The last_cmd_status seq_buf contains user visible messages (accessed
via /sys/fs/resctrl/info/last_cmd_status) that details any errors
encountered while interacting with the resctrl filesystem.

rdt_last_cmd_puts() and rdt_last_cmd_printf() are the two calls
available to respectively print an unformatted or formatted string
to the last_cmd_status buffer.

A few occurences exist where rdt_last_cmd_printf() is used to print
an unformatted string. Using rdt_last_cmd_printf() to print a simple
string does not result in incorrect result or incorrect behavior, but
rdt_last_cmd_puts() is the function intended to be used in these cases.
Fix these occurences to use rdt_last_cmd_puts() instead. While doing
so fix two typos that were recently introduced into two of these simple
strings.

Fixes: 723f1a0dd8e2 ("x86/resctrl: Fixup the user-visible strings")
Fixes: e0bdfe8e36f3 ("x86/intel_rdt: Support creation/removal of pseudo-locked region")
Fixes: 9ab9aa15c309 ("x86/intel_rdt: Ensure requested schemata respects mode")
Fixes: d48d7a57f718 ("x86/intel_rdt: Introduce resource group's mode resctrl file")
Fixes: dfe9674b04ff ("x86/intel_rdt: Enable entering of pseudo-locksetup mode")

V2:
- Fix commit message to clarify why rdt_last_cmd_printf() is changed
  to rdt_last_cmd_puts().
