Hi Ilpo,

initialize_mem_bw_resctrl() and set_mbm_path() contain complicated set
of conditions, each yielding different file to be opened to measure
memory bandwidth through resctrl FS. In practice, only two of them are
used. For MBA test, ctrlgrp is always provided, and for MBM test both
ctrlgrp and mongrp are set.

The file used differ between MBA/MBM test, however, MBM test
unnecessarily create monitor group because resctrl FS already provides
monitoring interface underneath any ctrlgrp too, which is what the MBA
selftest uses.

Consolidate memory bandwidth file used to the one used by the MBA
selftest. Remove all unused branches opening other files to simplify
the code.

fyi ... if the write_bm_pid_to_resctrl() fix in patch #16
was closer to this change it would have made this series easier to
review. That fix is clearly needed here and its omission makes this
patch as well as later patches #14 and #15 harder to review. No
need to rework the series at this point. It is just some comment on
how a simple patch ordering change can make a series easier to
understand.
