Hi Ilpo,

The struct resctrl_val_param has control and monitor groups as char
arrays but they are not supposed to be mutated within resctrl_val().
Convert the ctrlgrp and mongrp char array within resctrl_val_param to
plain const char pointers and adjust the strlen() based checks to
check NULL instead.
Convert !grp_name check in create_grp() into internal sanity check by
returning error if the caller asked to create a group but doesn't
provide a name for the group. The existing code already abides this by
only calling create_grp() if mongrp is non-NULL so the error should
never be returned with the current selftests (ctrlgrp is never NULL).

v3:
- Removed wrong comment
- Changed grp_name check to return -1 on fail (internal sanity check)

As I said during review of v2, this should not be an error. I went back to read
your comments and the argument that this is done for benefit of API is unclear since
the default control group does not have a name, exactly what create_grp() supports
when not returning an error in this case.
