Subject: [PATCH] x86/resctrl: Fix panic on systems that do not enable local MBM

Booting with kernel parameter "rdt=cmt,mbmtotal,memlocal,l3cat,mba" and
executing "mount -t resctrl resctrl -o mba_MBps /sys/fs/resctrl"
results in a panic on systems without local MBM support enabled in
firmware.

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020
PGD 0 P4D 0
Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
CPU: 0 PID: 722 Comm: kworker/0:3 Not tainted 5.2.0-0.rc3.git0.1.el7_UNSUPPORTED.x86_64 #2
Hardware name: Dell Inc. PowerEdge R740/0923K0, BIOS 2.1.8 04/30/2019
Workqueue: events mbm_handle_overflow
RIP: 0010:mbm_handle_overflow+0x150/0x2b0

Only call the bandwith update loop if the system has local MBM enabled.
