Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/resctrl: Don't stop walking closids when a locksetup group is found

When a new control group is created __init_one_rdt_domain() walks all
the other closids to calculate the sets of used and unused bits.

If it discovers a pseudo_locksetup group, it breaks out of the loop.
This means any later closid doesn't get its used bits added to used_b.
These bits will then get set in unused_b, and added to the new
control group's configuration, even if they were marked as exclusive
for a later closid.

When encountering a pseudo_locksetup group, we should continue. This
is because "a resource group enters 'pseudo-locked' mode after the
schemata is written while the resource group is in 'pseudo-locksetup'
mode." When we find a pseudo_locksetup group, its configuration is
expected to be overwritten, we can skip it.
