Subject: [PATCH v5 23/24] x86/resctrl: Expand resctrl_arch_update_domains()'s msr_param range

resctrl_arch_update_domains() specifies the one closid that has
been modified and needs copying to the hardware.
resctrl_arch_update_domains() takes a struct rdt_resource and a
closid as arguments, but copies all the staged configurations
for that closid into the ctrl_val[] array.

resctrl_arch_update_domains() is called once per schema, but
once the resources and domains are merged, the second call of
a L2CODE/L2DATA pair will find no staged configurations, as
they were previously applied. The msr_param of the first call
only has one index, so would only have update the hardware
for the last staged configuration.

To avoid a second round of IPIs when changing L2CODE and L2DATA
in one go, expand the range of the msr_param if multiple staged
configurations are found.
