x86/resctrl: Fix rdt_find_domain() return value and checks
rdt_find_domain() returns an ERR_PTR() that is generated from a provided domain id when the value is negative. Care needs to be taken when creating an ERR_PTR() from this value because a subsequent check using IS_ERR() expects the error to be within the MAX_ERRNO range. Using an invalid domain id as an ERR_PTR() does work at this time since this is currently always -1. Using this undocumented assumption is fragile since future users of rdt_find_domain() may not be aware of thus assumption. Two related issues are addressed: - Ensure that rdt_find_domain() always returns a valid error value by forcing the error to be -ENODEV when a negative domain id is provided. - In a few instances the return value of rdt_find_domain() is just checked for NULL - fix these to include a check of ERR_PTR.
