From what I can tell this still seem to suffer from the problem where
the test files may not be cleaned. With the removal of mbm_test_cleanup()
the cleanup is now expected to be done in mbm_bw_change().

Note that:

mbm_bw_change()
{
	...

	ret = resctrl_val(benchmark_cmd, &param);
	if (ret)
		return ret;
	
	/* Test results stored in file */	

	ret = check_results(span);
	if (ret) 
		return ret; <== Return without cleaning test result file

	mbm_test_cleanup(); <== Test result file cleaned only when test passed.

	return 0;		
}

mba_schemata_change() has the same pattern as mbm_bw_change() so test result
files may linger when test fails.

Same pattern again.

Patch 4 makes this work. Thanks for doing that.
