Subject: [PATCH] x86/resctrl: Fix rdt_find_domain() return value checks

rdt_find_domain() may return an ERR_PTR(), NULL, or a pointer to struct
rdt_domain. It is thus required that the return value be checked for the
possibility of an ERR_PTR as well as NULL.

In a few instances the return value of rdt_find_domain() is just checked
for NULL - fix these to include a check of ERR_PTR.

Fixes: d89b7379015f ("x86/intel_rdt/cqm: Add mon_data")
Fixes: 521348b011d6 ("x86/intel_rdt: Introduce utility to obtain CDP peer")

Dear Maintainers,

Two original commits are fixed here. d89b7379015f can be found in v4.14 and
521348b011d6 starting in v4.20. I am unsure whether this is appropriate for
stable since it is not fixing an issue reported by users. This issue was
discovered during code inspection.

Thank you

Reinette
