This patch looks good to me. I also think the L3 renaming done as
part of patch #26 should rather move to this patch to keep the
renaming together and helping patch #26 to focus on one thing:
resctrl_mon_resource_init -> resctrl_mon_l3_resource_init()
resctrl_mon_resource_exit() -> resctrl_mon_l3_resource_exit()
