RE: [PATCH v5 04/21] x86/resctrl: Group struct rdt_hw_domain cleanup

domain_free(hw_dom) is executed when fails allocated hw_dom->ctrl_val 
by kmalloc_array() in domain_setup_ctrlval(r, d), 
but hw_dom->ctrl_val is freed in domain_free(hw_dom).

Also, hw_dom->mbps_val is not allocated at this time,
but it is freed in domain_free(hw_dom).

In addition，I tested this patch series on Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6254 CPU with resctrl selftest.
It is no problem.

Best regards,
Shaopeng
