Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] selftests/resctrl: Fix set up shemata with 100% allocation on first run in MBM test.

There is a comment "Set up shemata with 100% allocation on the first run"
in function mbm_setup(), but there is an increment bug and the condition
"num_of_runs == 0" will never be met and write_schemata() will never be
called to set schemata to 100%. This is currently fine because
resctl_val_parm->num_resctrlfs is always 1 and umount/mount will be run
in each test to set the schemata to 100%.

To make mbm_setup() future code-change proof, fix to call
write-schemata() properly when the function is called for the first time.

Also, remove static local variable 'num_of_runs' because this is not
needed as there is resctl_val_param->num_of_runs which should be used
instead like in cat_setup().
