All these code being moved have a similar pattern to earlier code that
was deleted. It seems to me as though the CMT may also unnecessarily
create a monitor group and have the same opportunity to remove
some of the code being moved around here.

It is starting to look like resctrl_val_param->mongrp is not necessary.
