This overwrites the value from allocating the counter for total event.

But none of the callers check the return. Indeed it is ok (and
expected) that counter allocation can fail.
Just make this a "void" function and delete the "ret" local variable.

Ditto. No caller checks. Make this a void function. Dig down the
call chain here. It looks like rdtgroup_unassign_cntr_event() can't
fail, so it should be a void function too. Ditto resctrl_arch_config_cntr()
