Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] x86/resctrl: Avoid redundant counter read in __mon_event_count()

__mon_event_count() does the per-RMID, per-domain work for
user-initiated event count reads and the initialization of new monitor
groups.

In the initialization case, after resctrl_arch_reset_rmid() calls
__rmid_read() to record an initial count for a new monitor group, it
immediately calls resctrl_arch_rmid_read(). This re-read of the hardware
counter is unnecessary and the following computations are ignored by the
caller during initialization.

Following return from resctrl_arch_reset_rmid(), just clear the
mbm_state and return. This involves moving the mbm_state lookup into the
rr->first case, as it's not needed for regular event count reads: the
QOS_L3_OCCUP_EVENT_ID case was redundant with the accumulating logic at
the end of the function.
