Hi,

I am sorry I sent out a wrong version of patch.
Please ignore this patch. I will resend soon.

Currently, there are three static keys in resctrl file system:
rdt_mon_enable_key and rdt_alloc_enable_key indicate if monitoring
feature and allocation feature is enabled respectively. rdt_enable_key
is enabled when either monitoring feature or allocation feature is
enabled.

If no monitoring feature is supported (either hardware doesn't support
monitoring feature or the feature is disabled by kernel command line
option "rdt="), rdt_enable_key is still enabled but rdt_mon_enable_key
is disabled.

MBM is a monitoring feature. MBM overflow handler intends to check if
monitoring feature is not enabled for fast return. So the accurate check
here is to check rdt_mon_enable_key instead of rdt_enable_key.
