x86/resctrl: Prevent NULL pointer dereference when local MBM is disabled

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 NULL pointer dereference on systems which do not have local MBM support
enabled..

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
Workqueue: events mbm_handle_overflow
RIP: 0010:mbm_handle_overflow+0x150/0x2b0

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