fs/resctrl: Ensure default group reports tasks on monitor-only systems

resctrl can be mounted on a system that supports monitoring but not allocation.

On such a system reading the "tasks" file in the default group reports no
tasks, even when there are tasks assigned to the default group. This problem
occurs because the check for whether a task belongs to a CTRL_MON group is
gated by a check for whether the system supports allocation.

The resctrl_arch_alloc_capable() check in is_closid_match() breaks task
reporting for the default group on monitor-only systems so remove this check.
On systems that support allocation the check is redundant.

Fixes: e6b2fac36fcc ("x86/resctrl: Use is_closid_match() in more places")
