Jithu Joseph b61b8bba18 x86/intel_rdt: Prevent pseudo-locking from using stale pointers
When the last CPU in an rdt_domain goes offline, its rdt_domain struct gets
freed. Current pseudo-locking code is unaware of this scenario and tries to
dereference the freed structure in a few places.

Add checks to prevent pseudo-locking code from doing this.

While further work is needed to seamlessly restore resource groups (not
just pseudo-locking) to their configuration when the domain is brought back
online, the immediate issue of invalid pointers is addressed here.

Fixes: f4e80d67a5 ("x86/intel_rdt: Resctrl files reflect pseudo-locked information")
Fixes: 443810fe61 ("x86/intel_rdt: Create debugfs files for pseudo-locking testing")
Fixes: 746e08590b ("x86/intel_rdt: Create character device exposing pseudo-locked region")
Fixes: 33dc3e410a ("x86/intel_rdt: Make CPU information accessible for pseudo-locked regions")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
