[PATCH RFC 12/15] arm_mpam: Fix get_cpumask_from_cache() to clear mask on error

If mpam_get_cpumask_from_cache_id() fails, the affinity mask may have
been partially filled before the error occurred. The caller has no way
to distinguish a partial mask from a valid one, so it may misuse the
incomplete result.

Clear the affinity mask before returning the error so the caller always
receives either a fully valid mask or an empty one.
