6791e0ea30 ("x86/resctrl: Access per-rmid structures by index")
adds logic to map individual monitoring groups into a global index space used
for tracking allocated RMIDs.
Attempts to free the default RMID are ignored in free_rmid(), and this works
fine on x86.
With arm64 MPAM, there is a latent bug here however: on platforms with no
monitors exposed through resctrl, each control group still gets a different
monitoring group ID as seen by the hardware, since the CLOSID always forms part
of the monitoring group ID.
This means that when removing a control group, the code may try to free this
group's default monitoring group RMID for real. If there are no monitors
however, the RMID tracking table rmid_ptrs[] would be a waste of memory and is
never allocated, leading to a splat when free_rmid() tries to dereference the
table.
One option would be to treat RMID 0 as special for every CLOSID, but this would
be ugly since bookkeeping still needs to be done for these monitoring group IDs
when there are monitors present in the hardware.
Instead, add a gating check of resctrl_arch_mon_capable() in free_rmid(), and
just do nothing if the hardware doesn't have monitors.
This fix mirrors the gating checks already present in
mkdir_rdt_prepare_rmid_alloc() and elsewhere.
No functional change on x86.
