Subject: [PATCH v3] x86/resctrl: Avoid overflow in MB settings in bw_validate()

The memory bandwidth value was parsed as unsigned long, but later on
rounded up and stored in u32.  That could result in an overflow,
especially if resctrl is mounted with the "mba_MBps" option.

Switch the variable right to u32 and parse it as such.

Since the granularity and minimum bandwidth are not used when the
software controller is used (resctrl is mounted with the "mba_MBps"),
skip the rounding up as well and return early from bw_validate().

v3:
 - use u32 right away without going through unsigned long

v2:
 - actually save the value in the output parameter @data
