x86/resctrl: Fix rdtgroup_mkdir()'s unlocked use of kernfs_node::name
Since
741c10b096bc ("kernfs: Use RCU to access kernfs_node::name.")
a helper rdt_kn_name() that checks that rdtgroup_mutex is held has been used
for all accesses to the kernfs node name.
rdtgroup_mkdir() uses the name to determine if a valid monitor group is being
created by checking the parent name is "mon_groups". This is done without
holding rdtgroup_mutex, and now triggers the following warning:
| WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
| 6.15.0-rc1 #4465 Tainted: G E
| -----------------------------
| arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/internal.h:408 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

Creating a control or monitor group calls mkdir_rdt_prepare(), which uses
rdtgroup_kn_lock_live() to take the rdtgroup_mutex.
To avoid taking and dropping the lock, move the check for the monitor group
name and position into mkdir_rdt_prepare() so that it occurs under
rdtgroup_mutex. Hoist is_mon_groups() earlier in the file.
