x86/intel_rdt: Fix possible circular lock dependency
Lockdep is reporting a possible circular locking dependency:
======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
4.18.0-rc1-test-test+ #4 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
user_example/766 is trying to acquire lock:
0000000073479a0f (rdtgroup_mutex){+.+.}, at: pseudo_lock_dev_mmap
but task is already holding lock:
000000001ef7a35b (&mm->mmap_sem){++++}, at: vm_mmap_pgoff+0x9f/0x
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:
Chain exists of:
rdtgroup_mutex --> &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#3 --> &mm->mmap_sem
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&mm->mmap_sem);
lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#3);
lock(&mm->mmap_sem);
lock(rdtgroup_mutex);
*** DEADLOCK ***
1 lock held by user_example/766:
#0:
000000001ef7a35b (&mm->mmap_sem){++++}, at: vm_mmap_pgoff+0x9f/0x110
rdtgroup_mutex is already being released temporarily during pseudo-lock
region creation to prevent the potential deadlock between rdtgroup_mutex
and mm->mmap_sem that is obtained during device_create(). Move the
debugfs creation into this area to avoid the same circular dependency.
