Ben Horgan 4ad79c874e arm_mpam: Fix null pointer dereference when restoring bandwidth counters
When an MSC supporting memory bandwidth monitoring is brought offline and
then online, mpam_restore_mbwu_state() calls __ris_msmon_read() via ipi to
restore the configuration of the bandwidth counters. It doesn't care about
the value read, mbwu_arg.val, and doesn't set it leading to a null pointer
dereference when __ris_msmon_read() adds to it. This results in a kernel
oops with a call trace such as:

Call trace:
__ris_msmon_read+0x19c/0x64c (P)
mpam_restore_mbwu_state+0xa0/0xe8
smp_call_on_cpu_callback+0x1c/0x38
process_one_work+0x154/0x4b4
worker_thread+0x188/0x310
kthread+0x11c/0x130
ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20

Provide a local variable for val to avoid __ris_msmon_read() dereferencing
a null pointer when adding to val.
