I think an update to this part of the resctrl.rst documentation is somewhat
overdue:

        In a MON group these files provide a read out of the current
        value of the event for all tasks in the group. In CTRL_MON groups
        these files provide the sum for all tasks in the CTRL_MON group
        and all tasks in MON groups. Please see example section for more
        details on usage.

The sentence about CTRL_MON groups providing the sum for all tasks
in the child MON groups is only true if counters are assigned to all of
those MON groups. What mon_event_count() actually does is to
return success if any of the CTRL_MON or child MON groups succeeded
with the count being the sum of all the successes.
