I think I mentioned this before ... this addition belongs within the
"if (resctrl_arch_mon_capable())" to be symmetrical with where it was called from.

Unassigning counters after monitoring is completely disabled seems late. I
think this can be moved earlier to be right after the counters of all the
other groups are unassigned.
