[PATCH] arm_mpam: Restore the cached configuration when a write to an MSC fails

mpam_apply_config() caches the new configuration before writing it to
the RISes. When mpam_touch_msc() fails, the cache keeps the new values,
so a retry with the same schemata is skipped as a no-op and never
reaches the hardware.

Restore the cached configuration on failure so the retry writes it to
the RISes again.

Only arm64 MPAM systems are affected; x86 does not support MPAM.
