x86,fs/resctrl: Remove inappropriate references to cacheinfo in the resctrl subsystem

In the resctrl subsystem's Sub-NUMA Cluster (SNC) mode, the rdt_mon_domain
structure representing a NUMA node relies on the cacheinfo interface
(rdt_mon_domain::ci) to store L3 cache information (e.g., shared_cpu_map)
for monitoring. The L3 cache information of a SNC NUMA node determines
which domains are summed for the "top level" L3-scoped events.

rdt_mon_domain::ci is initialized using the first online CPU of a NUMA
node. When this CPU goes offline, its shared_cpu_map is cleared to contain
only the offline CPU itself. Subsequently, attempting to read counters
via smp_call_on_cpu(offline_cpu) fails (and error ignored), returning
zero values for "top-level events" without any error indication.

Replace the cacheinfo references in struct rdt_mon_domain and struct
rmid_read with the cacheinfo ID (a unique identifier for the L3 cache).

rdt_domain_hdr::cpu_mask contains the online CPUs associated with that
domain. When reading "top-level events", select a CPU from
rdt_domain_hdr::cpu_mask and utilize its L3 shared_cpu_map to determine
valid CPUs for reading RMID counter via the MSR interface.

Considering all CPUs associated with the L3 cache improves the chances
of picking a housekeeping CPU on which the counter reading work can be
queued, avoiding an unnecessary IPI.
