The Smatch static checker reports the following error after commit:a36c5ff560("x86/resctrl: Bring cbm_validate() into the resource structure"): arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/ctrlmondata.c:227 parse_cbm() error: uninitialized symbol 'cbm_val'. arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/ctrlmondata.c:236 parse_cbm() error: uninitialized symbol 'cbm_val'. This could happen if ->cbm_validate() is NULL which could leave cbm_val uninitialized. However, there is no case where ->cbm_validate() can be NULL as it is initialized based on a vendor check. So it is either an Intel or an AMD version it points to. And in both the cases it is initialized properly. Thus, remove the first check. Verified the fix running Smatch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
