I think it would be valuable to those considering whether they need to
backport to know that RDT_RESOURCE_L3 and RDT_RESOURCE_L2 are currently
the only possible levels with which this function is called. It is thus
not currently possible for this leak to occur. Indeed a valuable safety
to add in case this code may change in the future. Thank you very much.
