[PATCH v14 09/24] fs/resctrl: Remove redundant calls to resctrl_mon_capable()

[Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>]

resctrl_mon_capable() reports whether the system supports monitoring by
scanning all resources. On x86 it used to read a single architecture-provided
flag. Calls on paths that run repeatedly now pay for the scan.

Two such callers already know that monitoring is supported:

1) mbm_handle_overflow()
The MBM overflow handler runs once per second on each L3 monitoring
domain. It is only set up when MBM events are enabled, which requires
L3 monitoring support.

2) is_rmid_match()
Called for every task in the system when walking the task list to read
a tasks file, remove a group, or unmount. It only matches MON groups,
which can only be created on a system that supports monitoring.

Remove the call to resctrl_mon_capable() from both functions.

No functional change intended.
