There is a comment "Set up shemata with 100% allocation on the first run"
in function mbm_setup(), but there is an increment bug and the condition
"num_of_runs == 0" will never be met and write_schemata() will never be
called to set schemata to 100%. This is currently fine because
resctl_val_parm->num_resctrlfs is always 1 and umount/mount will be run
in each test to set the schemata to 100%.

To make mbm_setup() future code-change proof, fix to call
write-schemata() properly when the function is called for the first time.

Also, remove static local variable 'num_of_runs' because this is not
needed as there is resctl_val_param->num_of_runs which should be used
instead like in cat_setup().

Hi Shaopeng,

I understand there is a typo in the code you are modifying but I do not think
that justifies the same typo in the subject: shemata -> schemata

resctl_val_parm -> resctrl_val_param
num_resctrlfs -> mum_resctrlfs

You could be more specific by indicating that this change will 
support the usage when the test does not unmount/remount resctrl before
the test.

write-schemata() -> write_schemata()

resctl_val_param -> resctrl_val_param

With the move to using a member from the struct I think it would make the
code easier to understand if num_of_runs is explicitly initialized. That is
indeed the norm when looking at the other call sites.

p is defined here ...

p is used here _before_ it is initialized in the code that follows.
