rdt_enable_ctx() enables the features provided during resctrl mount.

Additions to rdt_enable_ctx() are required to also modify error paths
of rdt_enable_ctx() callers to ensure correct unwinding if errors
are encountered after calling rdt_enable_ctx(). This is error prone.

Introduce rdt_disable_ctx() to refactor the error unwinding of
rdt_enable_ctx() to simplify future additions. This also simplifies
cleanup in rdt_kill_sb().

Remove cdp_disable_all() as it is not used anymore after the refactor.

Do not talk about *what* the patch is doing in the commit message - that
should be obvious from the diff itself. Rather, concentrate on the *why*
it needs to be done.

Check your whole series.

When you send the next patch set, please add the change log in each patch after the "---" instead of in the cover patch only. So Boris and others clearly know what are changed in each patch.

Thanks.
