x86/resctrl: Resctrl_exit() teardown resctrl but leave the mount point
resctrl_exit() was intended for use when the 'resctrl' module was unloaded.
resctrl can't be built as a module, and the kernfs helpers are not exported so
this is unlikely to change. MPAM has an error interrupt which indicates the
MPAM driver has gone haywire. Should this occur tasks could run with the wrong
control values, leading to bad performance for important tasks. In this
scenario the MPAM driver will reset the hardware, but it needs a way to tell
resctrl that no further configuration should be attempted.
In particular, moving tasks between control or monitor groups does not
interact with the architecture code, so there is no opportunity for the arch
code to indicate that the hardware is no-longer functioning.
Using resctrl_exit() for this leaves the system in a funny state as resctrl is
still mounted, but cannot be un-mounted because the sysfs directory that is
typically used has been removed. Dave Martin suggests this may cause systemd
trouble in the future as not all filesystems can be unmounted.
Add calls to remove all the files and directories in resctrl, and remove the
sysfs_remove_mount_point() call that leaves the system in a funny state. When
triggered, this causes all the resctrl files to disappear. resctrl can be
unmounted, but not mounted again.
