You mention "A few places" (plural). In the patch I do see that
cmt_resctrl_val() is missing an unmount. Where are the other places?

I think that should be remount_resctrlfs(true). Please note that any of the tests could be
run separately from the command line and thus each test need to ensure a clean
environment, it cannot assume that (a) user space provided it with a clean and/or
unmounted resctrl or (b) that any test was run before it.
