An error may be encountered here without CDP ever enabled or just
enabled for L2 or L3. I think that the error unwinding should
take care to not unwind an action that was not done. Considering
the information available I think checking either ctx->enable_...
or the checks used in rdt_disable_ctx() would be ok but for consistency
the resctrl_arch_get_cdp_enabled() checks may be most appropriate.

So here I think there should be a check. 
	if (resctrl_arch_get_cdp_enabled(RDT_RESOURCE_L3))

... and here a check:
	if (resctrl_arch_get_cdp_enabled(RDT_RESOURCE_L2))
