The code to set MBA's alloc_capable to true appears to be trying to
restore alloc_capable on unmount. This can never work because
resctrl_arch_set_cdp_enabled() is never invoked with RDT_RESOURCE_MBA
as the rid parameter. Consequently,
mpam_resctrl_controls[RDT_RESOURCE_MBA].cdp_enabled always remains false.
The alloc_capable setting in resctrl_arch_set_cdp_enabled() is to
re-enable MBA if the caller opts in to separate control values using
CDP for this resource. This doesn't happen today.
Add a comment to describe this.
However a bug remains where MBA allocation is permanently disabled after
the mount with CDP option. Remounting without CDP cannot restore the MBA
partition capability.
Add a check to re-enable MBA when CDP is disabled, which happens on
unmount.
