x86/resctrl: Clear staged_config[] before and after it is used



As a temporary storage, staged_config[] in rdt_domain should be cleared
before and after it is used. The stale value in staged_config[] could
cause an MSR access error.

Here is a reproducer on a system with 16 usable CLOSIDs for a 15-way L3
Cache (MBA should be disabled if the number of CLOSIDs for MB is less than
16.) :
	mount -t resctrl resctrl -o cdp /sys/fs/resctrl
	mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/p{1..7}
	umount /sys/fs/resctrl/
	mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl
	mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/p{1..8}

An error occurs when creating resource group named p8:
    unchecked MSR access error: WRMSR to 0xca0 (tried to write 0x00000000000007ff) at rIP: 0xffffffff82249142 (cat_wrmsr+0x32/0x60)
    Call Trace:
     <IRQ>
     __flush_smp_call_function_queue+0x11d/0x170
     __sysvec_call_function+0x24/0xd0
     sysvec_call_function+0x89/0xc0
     </IRQ>
     <TASK>
     asm_sysvec_call_function+0x16/0x20

When creating a new resource control group, hardware will be configured
by the following process:
    rdtgroup_mkdir()
      rdtgroup_mkdir_ctrl_mon()
        rdtgroup_init_alloc()
          resctrl_arch_update_domains()

resctrl_arch_update_domains() iterates and updates all resctrl_conf_type
whose have_new_ctrl is true. Since staged_config[] holds the same values as
when CDP was enabled, it will continue to update the CDP_CODE and CDP_DATA
configurations. When group p8 is created, get_config_index() called in
resctrl_arch_update_domains() will return 16 and 17 as the CLOSIDs for
CDP_CODE and CDP_DATA, which will be translated to an invalid register -
0xca0 in this scenario.

Fix it by clearing staged_config[] before and after it is used.
